I'm more senior at this point, but its kind of galling to hear juniors described as a "net negative" by whoever the person is referenced in this post. Outside of a training phase, juniors are contributing work deliverables within their first 90 days, or at least the juniors I've been aware of have (including myself back in the day). Its kind of mindblowing to hear them discounted so heavily.
I also always feel like there should be some kind of cosmic law that the only people allowed to complain about how hard it is to find Senior Developers are places actually DOING the work of developing juniors. For the places who aren't, I always feel like "cry me a river" when I hear them complain about hiring lol.

The couple of times we have hired devs, the position required no prior experience. Both times, we received so many resumes we had to take the listing down after only a few days. And my work is in a nearby town of only 55k people. So yeah...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
