Skipping juniors feels smart short‑term, but it quietly sets you up for a painful failure later. 🤷
At
@CTOCraft Conference in Toronto, Christine Miao (Founder and Researcher at Technical Accounting) disagreed with the idea that juniors are just expensive output.
Why? Because they create mentorship pressure, adopt AI without old habits, aaaand are how knowledge actually gets transferred!
So, companies that stop hiring juniors now might save money this year, but in a few years, they'll be too busy, too brittle and too stuck to fix it.
