Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code.
Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 5 days agoI work in a small company that doesn’t hire hardly at all… Stories like this scare me because I have no way to personally quantify how common that kind of attitude might be.

Look, ultimately the problem is the same as it has always been: juniors doing junior shit. There’s just more of it going on. If you’re hiring one, you put a senior on them ready to extinguish fires. A good review process is a must.
Now that I think about it, there was this one time the same young’un I was talking about tried to commit this insane subroutine that was basically resizing a vector in the most roundabout way imaginable. Probably would have worked, but you can also just use the
resizemethod, y’know? In retrospect, that was probably some Copilot bullshit, but because we have a review process in place, it was never an issue.
