This is something for educators to deal with, not a 50+ senior IC, but yes your point is extremely important.

As an educator (UK) it's very hard to find people with experience to join us. The pay is SO crap and the workload is huge. Trying to teach complex, large systems is impossible, because we don't have them. We can't throw 1,000 files and 20,000 lines of code at a student and teach them how the system was engineered. We can show them toy systems.... which is fine if there is a work route that takes them and nutures them for 5 or so years. But without that pipeline, shrug not sure what we do about it
