To be fair, unless you're building some low level infrastructural systems, coding is the easiest part, and code is cheap.
Drop any senior dev into coding duty, and their skills return after one to two weeks. On the other hand, asking a junior dev to implement a new system that integrates with 3 other departments, and you'll have to wait two quarters for them just to figure out who to talk to and how to get consensus.
