I’ve been doing this for a while now. Junior engineers are pretty near universally terrible when measured by short term ROI. The only reason you would ever want to pay a truly junior engineer is because you can teach them.

If someone told me “you can have a free junior engineer, but they get swapped out each week for a new person”, I’d say no thanks.

I’m sure someone could figure out a way to make money on in that situation, but it wouldn’t be by building anything I’d be comfortable attaching my name to or or would want to use myself
