> Helping juniors do their job is great and all, but you still need experienced people to work on the hard and complex stuff that juniors can't because they don't have the knowledge/experience/people-skills. No amount of pair programming can replace that.

Or, it could be said, you need to refactor your codebase so no job is all that "hard and complex".

Should have had one of those seniors build it in the first place, eh, then juniors could be trusted to modify it. Or, what you say, he did? Then why is he "a senior" in the first place, if stuff is "hard and complex" because of how he built it...?
