Valve is a company that garnishes 30% of all video games sales. It doesn’t matter what their corporate structure is at that point. It could be two guys with buckets on their heads and they’d make bank.
they save money by laying all the work on the low amount of employees they have rather than hiring more people, its probably skeleton crewed. thats probably why they make so money there, dont want to spread around.
They really believe that seniors will move to their slop based company after all the shit they dug themselves into. The heads of these ceos must be full of unicorn shit and rainbows.
The bourgeoisie no longer holds any care whatsoever for sustainability.
Quire seriously, their only goal is to obtain enough wealth and power that they won’t feel the effects of losing any of it until they die. That’s their literal goal. All hell is allowed to break loose, but only after they die.
That took an expert?
If you don’t train juniors you don’t get seniors to fix shit or to build you more AI.
Every C-Suite think they will be able to snatch senior devs that other companies will train.
No, they think by then there will be AGI and pick up the slack.
Narrator: there won’t / wasn’t.
This is already the case at companies like Valve and Netflix. They “don’t hire junior devs”…
I applied for a job at Valve a couple of years ago and was told that my over decade of development experience didn’t make me senior enough.
Valve has the sweetest of all business models: do almost nothing, make tons of money. They have so few employees.
Well, isn’t Valve a company with pretty much no hierarchy where everyone is mostly equal, bar Gabe?
I mean, due to their structure, I can see an excuse for them.

This has been the case since way before the LLM boom but it has definitely moved into a higher gear.

Let the other companies be the suckers that take a loss on training juniors into seniors
You know, those other companies that also use AI instead of hiring juniors.
Not to worry just let them burn the companies down themselves
Yes. And while I’m content to laugh at them, I also took the time to learn enough to get most of the technology stock out of my 401k.
