Yes. I already have a djunior developer, Martin. He's from sports. He studied sports management at school. The main problem is algorithms. So far he can't write the code for the task himself. But he can clean up the code, organize modules and TD. And little by little he is learning. But it is very slow. In a year and a half he still hasn't written Dijkstra's algorithm himself.
