yeah sadly capitalism is brutal about this. In the past mentoring and apprenticeship was based on the fact a business owner can get years of cheap labour out of you.

The economics dont really math out with software development, because to be a good software developer usually means you are smart enough to see when you are being exploited and nope out as soon as possible.

Then mentioning AI is an even deeper layer of "nobody wants you to know the tricks that is making them scam money"
