1 is why large companies have massive cohorts of interns. They don't expect to get much/any useful work out of them, they just fill up the interns on Kool-Aid, identify the ones that aren't completely hopeless, and hire them full-time as junior devs.

Right, but then every company would just grow uberdevs and be chock full of awesome at some point, but it seems like that isn’t happening w these interns as often as would make the intern thing “worth it” for identifying future wonderdevs.
