It's unfortunate that Meta Glasses found PMF with folks who want to nonconsensually record social interactions

Give two different people the same problem, and you'll likely get two different solutions shaped by differing experiences and ways of thinking. I think software is an example of this manifested.

I just meant that even a senior dev can only manage a finite number of tasks at a time, even if AI is doing the work. So if everyone's plates are full, then maybe some of the work can be offloaded to junior devs. However, if you feel like the work is not suitable for junior devs, then maybe you need more senior devs.That being said, I wouldn't look at it as simply as senior dev = 3x junior dev. Of course, it depends on the work you have, your hiring talent pool, etc.

Hi fellow founder here, just sharing some thoughts. Agree that with AI more eng work can now be handled by a senior dev but a good junior dev using AI is also more capable than ever. I think with a good process in place, you can ramp up a junior dev sooner rather than later. And as good as AI is, there's still a human bottleneck, so I'd assess the quantity of work you have vs. the technical complexity
