I'm interviewing juniors. Their manual skills drops sharply, and that's for people who went to school in manual age, and maybe last year it stopped to be manual. Lets see what will be in a year or two lol

At this point do you even need to hire any juniors at all? It seems like there's a heavy reliance on AI agents and LLM especially for juniors. Is hiring a warm body that sits on a chair and prompts at a computer a good use of money?

  • yes, and no. Everybody is trying to hunt junior unicorn, They exist , but the ratio is 1 out 30. For these people, AI is a real elevator of their career.
