By not hiring junior devs, they're missing out on a large chunk of those of us who spend their workday raging at technology on HN.

You might be saying this in jest, but it’s true. Or more accurately, they may have junior devs, but they’re not listened to.

I see this effect regularly at $dayjob where the senior decision makers are too busy to waste time in forums like this… so they don’t get to find out what the entire industry seems to know.

E.g.: they keep choosing Angular for “cold blooded” apps, the type the government develops under a tender that then sits there unmaintained for a decade. Meanwhile Angular has one of the highest rates of churn of any large codebase and takes continuous sustained maintenance to keep up with.
