If you don't hire juniors, you don't deserve seniors

Juniors are wonderful, but they make messes and are a training and maintenance burden on more experienced developers.<p>They really are like puppies, and if your org can&#x27;t take care of them you shouldn&#x27;t adopt one.

The flipside of this story is that companies often only hire junior developers for the lower cost.<p>Some companies 10-15 year old companies are composed 80-90% of junior developers, and that&#x27;s a problem too.
