Let me be clear: junior developers are necessary.
They are also risky to hire.
Let's explore the economics of hiring juniors, how to de-risk yourself and what the hell "junior" really means.
Also - here's my email if you want any targeted advice: brian@parsity.io
Include your Github and LinkedIn and I'll give you my 3 cents!
PS. We have 2 spots left for the last cohort of the year. Join me at Parsity.io if you want to become a software developer in 2025.
