But by definition, junior developers with no experience are going to need more handholding and tale time away from experience developers.

Unlike AI, which gives me fake methods, broken code, and wrong advice with full confidence.
I just “wrote” 2000 lines of code for a project between Node for the AWS CDK and Python using the AWS SDK (Boto3). Between both, ChatGPT needed to “know” the correct API for 12 services, SQL and HTML (for a static report). The only thing it got wrong with a one shot approach was a specific Bedrock message payload for a specific LLM model. That was even just a matter of saying “verify the payload on the web using the official docs”.
Yes it was just as well structured as I - someone who has been coding as a hobby or professionally for four decades - would have done.
That's great for you. I ask Sonnet 4 to make a migration and a form in Laravel Filament, and it regularly shits itself. I'm curious what those 12 services were, they must've had unchanging, well documented APIs.

I think I wrote -200 lines of code on my last PR. I may be doing something bad for that number to be negative.

Truly depends on the organization and systems. I’m at a small firm with too few Senior staff, lots of fire-fighting going on among us, etc. We have loads of low-hanging fruit for our Juniors so we tend to have very quick results after an initial onboarding.
