Thats a nice story. But it doesn't seem like a plan.
If its no longer worth hiring junior devs, then fairly soon there'll be few mid-level devs. And after that almost no senior developers. Is that the plan?
- raw_anon_1111 8mo agoThat’s a collective action problem - that’s not anyone’s problem who is currently working as a hiring manager. If I were a hiring manager - I’m not now. But I’m in the interview pool as what Amazon would call the “bar raiser” (former employee) - my goal is to make sure my department goals are met - not what is going to happen in the industry in a decade or two. Besides, the average tenure of any developer is around 2-4 years, how does my department or company benefit from hiring juniors? I’m incentivized as is everyone in seniors positions to meet quarterly and annual goals. And going back to my previous (true) story, why should I take on the work of a junior dev along with all of my other work when I could and did just throw an ambiguous project at a senior?
