If you're hiring in this AI era, would you give Junior devs a chance?

So I shared about the Junior dev's dilemma (in this AI era) a few days ago. And last night while on twitter I came across this tweet by the youtube legends. It was interesting to see that they share this sentiment.

However, I'm curious to know what a hiring manager's perspective of this would be.

If you're a founder or hiring, would you give a junior in this era a chance? And what would your expections of them be?

I think juniors still deserve a chance. AI can help them build faster, but it can’t replace curiosity, problem solving, and the willingness to learn from real projects. The key is giving juniors opportunities to prove those skills.

AI shouldn’t be a reason to ignore junior devs. Curiosity, problem solving, and willingness to learn still matter a lot. The key is knowing how to use AI without depending on it for everything

"The key is knowing how to use AI without depending on it for everything"...true! @[Mehadi Hasan]

I think that in itself is a skill and can be learned better by watching seniors use AI on real projects.

But then, juniors can also explore and see what works for them yeah?

Thank you for stopping by, Mehadi!

Absolutely. If we don’t give junior developers a chance, how will we ever grow the next generation of talent?
