In fact, junior engineers like to show off the most elegant solution of the day to solve problems. They are exactly opposite to coding agents.
I also deeply feel anger when I see this type of age/experience discrimination. Working with any junior engineer is most importantly for me a learning experience.

@jarkko that's the only kind of junior engineer I've met 🤣 the best thing about coding agents is they improved the quality of code that my colleagues put out.

slott56@fosstodon.org@jarkko high point of my career was junior devs thinking I would throw a fit when I found the the hack they’d put in place to get something done while I was on vacation. It meant they cared and they wanted to do better but time had running out on learning a more elegant solution.
They actually cared.

slott56@fosstodon.org@jarkko very detailed explanation of why coding agents can’t be trusted. And junior devs can be trusted.
Agents not people who are likely to be smarter than me. Also. Coding agents can’t care whether or not they found a good solution. Unlike people who do care about creating something good. And worry when they feel it might be less than ideal.
