  1. Honestly, it's a thing that is doomed to crash and we're all going to be there laughing eventually. It's one of these stories where the Western world is one again failing, just like the aging population. People don't want to make babies because it's hard and expensive work with no outside support, and therefore once the senior generation retires, nobody will be there to replace it. Here, the contrast is there's an "overpopulation" of junior devs, and instead of accommodating for it to secure its own future, the industry and the Western countries do nothing to help except promoting expensive bootcamps that have eventually nothing to do with getting you hired. For me, the safest bet is to look for work where that mentality doesn't exist, or leave somewhere cheaper where you can remotely do works in the West for less money and a dramatically better purchasing power. (And, to be fair, a more satisfying life too.)

  2. OK. What junior takes two years to train? Someone who's never coded before? Meaning someone who can't even dream about seriously applying?
