No, I genuinely don't belive there is the future demand for that many developers.
And the developers we need do not jump through the career progression of Junior to senior.
Why the f** would I keep investing in a profession I think is dead or seriously contracting?
Do you not find that depressing and sad? Do you never work with enthusiastic and talented junior developers at the start of their careers? Do you not enjoy interacting with them?
Well...
I think it would be more depressing taking in exited junior developers, spending years of their life not believing that they are growing into any real career.
> ... the start of their careers
It is exactly this assumption I am challenging.
What comes next, I don't know - and I am not trying to kid myself or any others that I am well suited as a mentor for person starting out their career in the current environment.
