HIRING ONLY SENIOR ENGINEERS IS THE WORST POLICY IN THE STARTUP INDUSTRY
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Companies are making a mistake by exclusively hiring senior engineers, missing out on the potential of motivated and adaptable junior talent. Juniors can quickly become productive with proper mentoring and AI tools. A revised hiring process that focuses on problem-solving skills, AI proficiency, and a candidate's learning mindset would be good to hire great junior engineers in this new age.
