We are always seeing threads with junior people/new grads talking about how they are having so much trouble breaking into the industry. Just hire them and give them interesting tiny projects. Would be super helpful to so many people to get going and still allow you to spend all your money.

You can't ramp up hiring that quickly. By the time you've onboarded several new devs, the year (and budget period) will be over.
