    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.

        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.
