The main difference is that this junior employee can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong. And the company which rented you this employee absolves itself from all responsibility too.

Here is a fresh example from today of what junior employee do when given unlimited agentic power : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1sv7fvc/im_a_nurs...

Your example is not from a Jr developer but from a free agent.

I think you will find it very hard to keep a Jr dev in a Corp responsible.

I actually think you will find that it is easier to work with agents at a higher quality and lower legal risk than using Jr developers.

And this is only going to be amplified when it becomes common knowledge that Ai poses less risk to projects, than Jr staff.

How would you hold the junior responsible if they bring down the system and it cost a million dollars? Will they actually recover all the money from the employee ?
