This blogpost didn't really address the elephant in the room that increasingly the bottleneck is no longer the part that jr devs could help out with.

Every startup I know that hired some level of jr's and encouraged them to use AI found themselves in a code review bottleneck for basic code quality and architecture decisions. Many startups I know are largely forgoing jr devs.

Code quality regarding evolvability, reliability, maintainability is still part of the development process. All of the people who claimed src code is just assembly on Twitter some months ago have started chiming in that they were wrong.

I do wonder what this does to the talent pipeline like mentioned in the post.
