Let me make it clear: without people at the top of their game sharing their experience and knowledge — regardless of whatever “game changing” technology is in place — we are pulling up the ladders and committing our industry to stagnation and death. We’ve already fucked it up over the last few years for junior developers by instead of investing in them, playing the slot machines (also known as LLMs) to — you guessed it — make the money number go up, but there’s still hope for recovery.
