100% this; unfortunately also often seeing junior devs called staff after job hopping for 3 or 4 years never really learning anything.

Junior job titles are nearly as much of a mess as interviewing them.

Particularly in recent hot topics like AI the reality is you want both experienced and less-experienced devs. Most AI teams I see actually lack AI experience and keep falling for the same issues (like quickly getting to 80% working and thinking just a bit more data to 99.9%)

Yarh, I thought about this a lot when recently our electric cargo bike passed 10.000 kilometers. It is used, almost exclusively, to bring our son to school, 5km away.
