Wait, you think "junior developers are actually moderately competent" only makes sense within the HN echo chamber?

I think you have that exactly backwards.

Most junior developers most places may not have the experience of a senior developer, and thus be able to do the translation from business logic to code quite as fast and accurately the first time, but this kind of derogatory attitude toward them is incredibly condescending and insulting.

ChatGPT doesn't know what it's doing. It doesn't know anything, and unlike the most junior developer barely trained, it can't even check its output to see if it matches the desired output.

And for goodness' sake, get rid of the absurd idea that all the competent developers are in Silicon Valley. That's even more insulting to the vast majority of developers in the entire world.
