  The incredible thing to me about this is the original blog post is explaining decades-old startup bro wisdom like it’s brand new. Plenty of ink has been spilled to describe how AI is a challenge for junior developers, especially those trying to land a job. Now that I’ve seen junior people work with AI for a bit, I have a more hopeful take: Impact is less bounded by how many years of accumulated knowledge in frameworks and libraries you’ve gathered. I’m seeing engineers who are comparatively new fly past people who are probably better coders and have been around much longer. Hunger beats tenure. Then the things he recommends junior engineers do sound like they’re right out of a 2012 startup handbook. Pick a radical idea: Come up with a few ideas that would, if successful, dramatically improve the chances that your organization achieves those goals. Be ambitious! Build it over the weekend! Yeah, hashtag disrupt, right guys?
