Respectfully it’s not, and I’ve never heard of needing devs with 10 years of experience to do non-menial work.

Within my first year without a formal education I was shipping major features out to customers. Yes most of that year was big squashing, perf optimization and helping others with features. 10 years later, I am still learning - I hope that part never stops.

Maybe we're just unlucky with recruiting.

In my team there are people with 2 or 3 years of experience who need 5x to 10x the time it take a senior developer to do.

As I said, maybe we're just unlucky. Or maybe the whole IT sector is used to low-quality, low-efficiency jobs. Who knows.
