It's as simple as that. And at scale, it adds up to a lot of mistakes.
And for better or worse, much of the tech industry does not require extensive certification and training with checking and rechecking of every step. (And even aerospace makes mistakes.)
And, yes, junior people make even more mistakes. But I'm not sure the fix to that is to have junior people's every action be check and rechecked by a more senior person. It can be done. That's generally how things work in medicine for example. Along with stringent certifications. But I'm not sure how many people in tech would want that. It's a reasonable discussion to have. Maybe training wheels are taken off too early in many cases.
