All devs

All senior devs are now junior devs, that’s why we stopped hiring juniors.

Give me them downvotes all you want but I’m not the “senior” turning in slop Llm code.

Are most junior devs honestly any better? In my experience no.

In my experience, junior devs are actually better about this because they haven't been ground down by years of corporate bullshit and shellacking whenever they bring up security holes or issues. Some of them will be a bit over eager and miss obvious stuff but unlike LLMs you can actually train them to be better about it.

Yeah, to be honest I agree. I've worked with senior people who couldn't give a crap, "it works" is the only barrier to shipping it.

I've also worked with juniors who are technically much better than most of the senior people around them.

If there are no devs, who finds the junior bugs?
