Our juniors look more productive than they’ve ever been. The PR counts are up so high that it’s drowning our seniors.
They’re reviewing AI-generated pull requests they didn’t write, can’t always trust, and no longer have the time to teach against. They’re mentoring less, fixing more, and quietly wondering whether the people they’re shipping code with are actually getting better at the craft. Most of them won’t say it out loud. The dashboard is green. Who wants to be the one who complains?
This talk names the disease and gets concrete about what juniors, seniors, and orgs each have to do differently to keep building seniors. Whether you’re a junior, a senior, or in leadership, you’ll leave with a few tangible changes you can make to prompt better, manage better, and review better.
Key takeaways:
- Juniors can be effectively trained to participate as viable members of a full development team.
Target audience:
- Elixir developers and managers who depend on AI.
