alt Hacker NewsNo, it's a "tragedy of the commons" problem, for lack of a less dramatic phrase.
If you ran a software company, would you want to train juniors who are slower than AI and much more expensive? Who would just jump ship in two years?
It wouldn't make sense to. "Someone" should do it: someone other than you.
I see this take all the time, but hiring a junior/intern has never been great ROI, so I hear. Why did we ever do it in the past? Its not like it was ever likely that hiring a junior means getting an employee for life. Could it be that the economic and shareholder pressures are requiring this rather than it being a logical thing?
