As someone who has been hiring juniors recently. I disagree with pretty much all these points:

Great juniors learn fast and search for feedback. It’s easier to manage them. They want to improve and know what you think about their work.

--> Very skeptical of this comment. It's harder to manage someone that needs managed so directly, period.

Loyalty. engineers who you train from the beginning tend to stay longer. They understand your systems deeply and can mentor the next generation of junior engineers.

--> They really don't. They're looking for a foot in the door.

Higher ceiling. A motivated junior engineer often has more upside. You're getting someone at the beginning of their growth curve rather than the middle or end.

--> Maybe? Tough to tell. They often leave.

Juniors bring fresh energy to the team - they want to learn, and they have a drive to prove themselves and succeed. Their motivation can be contagious! The existing seniors in your team will enjoy working with smart and motivated developers.

--> Not always. Most just want a job and are easily discouraged. Some are like this though.

Juniors are not restricted by what they know. They haven't been trained to think "that's just how we do things." They’ll not try to reuse the same technologies from previous companies, or recreate those ‘amazing’ design patterns that were useful only in a specific context. It’s not just being AI-native, it’s about having less resistance to change.

--> This one I sort of agree with

I'm confused and I'm a developer

This was going to be my comment, but I was going to be a lot more rude

Could be handy, but would much rather pay someone $ to have it be 100% correct

Also why does the guy sound like he's gonna cry?

Great! Will email you

Seems handy for what we're building right now

This is cool. So I can give it a recording and it'll create documents on my product?

Can you "string together" multiple videos?

this is not a good idea for most enterprise or even early-stage startups

I don't think their business seems impressive enough to really make this argument either

4% is a pretty big lift imo

And who knows how good it is for the quality of that sleep

Will this actually change anything? Curious if folks will just create a black market for these instead (this is basically how ny works)
