Also most juniors have no idea how to write tests, plan for data scale, know which IPC-RPC combo is best for prototyping vs production
Etc…
90% of software is architecture and juniors don’t architect
This is an organizational issue then—someone who is operating at a junior level who demonstrates that they don’t care to learn should be let go.
The business threshold (willingness to pay for something) for the worst automation will eventually beat the marginal expert.
So there becomes no business differentiation between a junior and a middle engineer
“Architecture” becomes the entry-level job
