...the fact that even at a low wage, heck, even free, a junior developer is going to cost so much of a senior's time to mentor and clean up after that they end up being really expensive.
Then when they get to be worth a shit, instead of sticking around for you to recoup your investment, they rationally take a job at higher pay somewhere else. You could raise their wage to keep them, but there's no incentive to train them up then. Why would I invest in a junior when I can poach a senior?
The only way I got into the business was that I had shipped 3 titles that I had done all the design and engineering on. The code in them is a shitshow, but all the employers saw was a completed game that had made money. This is what a businessman cares about, and businessmen are the ones cutting checks.

It's the souls of the Chinese workers, that are harvested and embedded in each phone to drive Siri.
The future before us is going to find me as a very grumpy old man.
Maybe he just liked blowing people up.
Does any 87 year old have a career?
Because your company doesn't make a profit, and never will. Why not stick those assholes with that sinkhole?
.... China gears up for a cyber war.
These are the wages of empowering stupidity.
It was damn fun fucking with them while it lasted though.
We couldn't build enough prisons to hold those guilty of that.
Both wish they weren't in the central valley.
Airbnb does inject a bit of riffraff, if only temporarily. This should slow the gentrification.
"It's apparently completely acceptable to a sizable chunk of society for kids to play video games where they kill people."
Before we had video games, it was acceptable to play a game called "smear the queer", which required only a nerf football.
Children are bloody minded little bastards. If you take the violent games away, they'll make their own.
... don't knock Trump over and teabag him repeatedly, I am going to be very disappointed.
... to document exactly when Facebook jumped the shark.
Yeah, they'd call that indentured servitude, I guess. We're stuck with the noob Thunderdome.
... which gets me the seniors without the cost/risk of training them.

Well theres 40% in taxes to consider.
Definately true. Busses are a joke, at least in the US.
Did we really need 248 people to do the job?
I'm asking... I have no idea. Despite this having to do with Trump, it might actually be a reasonable thing.
6km is a pretty easy walk or a 15 minute bike ride.
It's forming a mirror image of the Republican party.
The common theme is authoritarianism though, and it seems like we don't have any other viable alternative to vote for.
I am offended by you and your association with Justien Bieber.
If I tell you to scream "fuck fuck, fuckity fuck" a thousand times, and you don't do it, you are censoring me.
So you better get started... I can't heeeeeeeaaaaar youuuuuuuuu!
They should treat their programmers really nice then. And try not to hire crazy ones.
