Every C-Suite think they will be able to snatch senior devs that other companies will train.
This has been the case since way before the LLM boom but it has definitely moved into a higher gear.
This is already the case at companies like Valve and Netflix. They “don’t hire junior devs”…
I applied for a job at Valve a couple of years ago and was told that my over decade of development experience didn’t make me senior enough.
Valve has the sweetest of all business models: do almost nothing, make tons of money. They have so few employees.
They really believe that seniors will move to their slop based company after all the shit they dug themselves into. The heads of these ceos must be full of unicorn shit and rainbows.
