You cutoff a generation of juniors from employment and learning , the seniors are gone and it's all harnesses and AI systems.

I'm not all gloom and doom but the treatment of junior engineers is something I think we will either regret or rejoice. Either will have a spur of creative people doing their own independent thing or we'll have lost a generation of great engineers.

This is not happening at least for 25 years, is what seniors I trust tell me.

[GrinningFool]

I'd say closer to 10-15 but... I'm not sure the point you're making. Is it okay because it's 25 years in the future?

If we try hard enough, we can destroy the planet before we get there, I guess? 25 years is not a long time.

Today junior assembly language programmer are all gone, too.

And that’s going to cause serious issues when people like Linus die and nobody knows how to make operating systems anymore.

We’ve been coasting along on a single generation who have ruled with iron fists.

Yes and that’s why I can charge premium rates for debugging. Most people cannot read a stack trace anymore.
