If people would be as patient and inventive to teach junior devs as they are with llms the whole industry would be better of.

The thing is, Claude Code only works if you have the plan. It’s impossible to use it on the API, and it makes me wonder if $100/month is truly enough. I use it all day every day now, and I must be consuming a whole lot more than my $100 is worth.

You pay junior devs way way way more money for the privilege of them being bad.
And since they're human, the juniors themselves do not have the patience of an LLM.
I really would not want to be a junior dev right now... Very unfair and undesirable situation they've landed in.

What does this mean?

At least it’s easier to teach yourself anything now with an LLM? So maybe it balances out.

#16The terminal really is sort of the perfect interface for an LLM; I wonder whether this approach will become favored over the custom IDE integrations.

You can definitely use Claude Code via the API

A constant reminder: you can't have wizards without having noobs.
Every wizard was once a noob. No one is born that way, they were forged. It's in everybody's interest to train them. If they leave, you still benefit from the other companies who trained them, making the cost equal. Though if they leave, there's probably better ways to make them stay that you haven't considered (e.g. have you considered not paying new juniors more than your current junior that has been with the company for a few years? They should be able to get a pay bump without leaving)

I think it's actually even worse: it's easier to trick yourself into thinking you're teaching yourself anything.
Learning comes from grinding and LLMs are the ultimate anti-intellectual-grind machines. Which is great for when you're not trying to learn a skill!

I think it would be great to be a junior dev now and be able to learn quickly with llms.
