Young programmers might want to put down the leetcode for a bit and spend some time learning about legacy code: how to understand it, how to fix it, how to improve it, and how to determine if it needs a rewrite. When the re-hiring begins, there will be a lot of code out there where nobody who worked on it is still around.

That'll happen when interviews will require refactoring code, rather than creating code from scratch.
