But if those aspiring juniors stop asking those questions and the seniors not answer them in open web, neither LLMs nor juniors have new training data and both become stagnated. How do we solve this?

At my early days, I learned more reading code from much senior engineers and began to appreciate it. An effective seasoned senior writes a beautiful poetry that conveys deeper meaning and solves the entertainment(erm… business requirement) purpose. If the seniors retire and the juniors are no longer hired, then where do LLMs get new data from?

In all sense of things, I suspect we’ll see more juniors getting hired in coming years and few seniors present to guide them, same as how we previously had few db specialists and architects giving out the outline and the followers made those into actual products.
