For different brains, the answer has to be no because the images you see are a "neural net" construction and if that neural net differs then the "image" you see is different

When writing banal code, you can just ask it to write unit tests for certain conditions and it'll do a pretty good job. The cutting edge tools will correctly automatically run and iterate on the unit tests when they dont pass. You can even ask the agent to setup TDD.

I can't tell if this thread is filled with bookie shills or (buy a mcNuke level)die hard libertarians or people who live under a rock and don't realize how pervasive sports gambling is.
Dont be dense, we are talking about "very few" in the context of draft kings which prints more money in 1 week than black market gambling has in years. The turnover in legal sports gambling in america is over 100b a year, this is larger than the gdp of most countries.

The real problem with hiring juniors is that tech does not have flexible pay. Realistically, hiring juniors is high risk high reward so they should naturally be on some kind of probational pay.
