AI Makes You Faster.
But Is It Making You Weaker?
A CTO’s Guide to Balancing Short-Term Wins with Long-Term Team Health
AI boosts senior engineer productivity.
With GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and tools like them, shipping code has never been faster.
So… why hire juniors?
They take time to train. Seniors are crushing it. Maybe we skip that layer?
That mindset is a time bomb.
Without junior devs, you lose your bench, your future leads, your culture.
The future needs this:
- Juniors with growth paths
- Seniors as mentors
- AI as a teaching tool
- A team that can evolve
If your team lacks redundancy, observability, and the ability to evolve, you're building technical debt - with humans.
