I agree with this stance. Junior developers are going to learn faster than previous generations, and I'm happy for it.

I know that is confronting for a lot of people, but I think it is better to accept it, and spend time thinking about what your experience is worth. (A lot!)

I would have agreed, until I started seeing the kinds of questions they're asking.

How? Students now are handing out LLM homework left and right. They are not nurturing the resolve to learn. We are training a cohort of youngs who will give up without trying hard, and end learning nothing
