It's not even related to tech or field maturity. Web apps are complex beasts. A junior architect cannot design a safe and maintainable skyscraper (hell, they probably can't even design a proper two-story home without making mistakes) and architecture as a discipline has been with us for centuries. A modern, new product is even harder because it's often uncharted territory (it's almost a miracle we can build them) not because of the maturity of the field but rather because if you're building an app instead of deploying an off-the-shelf solution it's because you need to explore the trail... If you want tried and tested just deploy WooCommerce or whatevs in a plain-old web hosting! Designing something completely new is, by definition, off-limits for a junior in any field. This guy's been building bunkers and dams for years and somehow expects to transfer his knowledge to design a skyscraper? Would he expect a webdev to be able to design and build a brand-new LLM and deploy it in a scalable fashion from scratch? I understand the desire, but it's unrealistic, especially considering the ever-growing affordances that an app is expected to have in 2025.
