Yep, I feel this is a general broken thing about our industry. I'm very against the whole, "let juniors do easier stuff," mentality. I'm also very against the "you must make big disruptive changes in order to get ahead," as well. The latter often results in people just looking in the wrong places to try and improve things, often by introducing complexity instead of removing it.

I'm pretty jaded by it all. These days I work for a company whose primary business isn't technology and I'm much happier.
