alt Hacker News> I’m not sure where that will leave students who start with no research experience.
What is wrong with this guy? Of course he knows where that will leave those students. Why did he even choose to be in the business of developing people? Nobody forced him. Anyway, the ladders were pulled up in 2020–2021.

Reading the piece I _hope_ they are trying to make a point and not really thinking they are not going to help novices become juniors. But who knows, nowadays...

“I'm not sure” is academic jargon for “I don't give a damn”.
Research is a very abstract field, not everyone with an interest also has an interest in teaching for it's own point.
The motivation to take on juniors to grow your long term capabilities equation is shifting, to the point where its harder to justify.
