The best advice to juniors is "do not use AI!"

Dunno why the author thinks an AI-enhanced junior can match the "output"of a whole team unless he means in generating lines of code, which is to say tech debt.

Being able to put a lot of words on screen is not the accomplishment in programming. It usually means you've gone completely out of your depth.

Because the author has a vested interest in peddling this bullshit given he works on Gemini at Google.
