I've been thinking a lot lately about what happens when today’s juniors become seniors. If you spend your first few years letting AI handle the edge cases and memory management, do you ever actually develop the intuition needed for systems design? It feels like we're optimizing for today's tickets at the expense of future technical leads. Does anyone else feel this way?

That's a very valid concern. A lot of us may be using AI to save time, but we still know what's underlying it all. In years to come, you have to wonder if vibe coders will be flying blind, so to speak. We're definitely heading into some strange territory.

Today's juniors barely exist, they have largely been overtaken by AI. The amount of interns we bring in there days compared to just 5 years ago is crazy, that used to be the path to becoming skilled and getting to the senior level. Now im not sure how we are going to get new senior devs at all when we arent investing in the juniors because its cheaper to have a mid level do the work of 5 juniors in the short term, but it seems shortsighted...

I might get roasted for asking such a basic question but - how much do you budget for eating out ($ amount or % of budget)?
