> Junior engineers should not vibe code. They should use LLMs as pair programmers to learn. If they don’t, that’s on them. Is it a dicey situation? Yeah. But there’s no turning back the clock. This is the world we have. They still have a path if they want it and have curiosity.

Except it's impossible to follow your curiosity when everything in the world is pushing against it (unless you are already financially independent and only programming for fun). Junior developers compete in one of the most brutal labor markets in the world, and their deliverables are more about getting things done on time than doing things better. What they "should" do goes out the window once you step out of privilege and look at the real choices.
