12678916, None of this is necessarily true, provided he finds the right people, company Posted by MiQL, Wed Dec-17-14 06:35 PM
I work w/ jr devs all the time and they have great ideas. A jr dev just this past weeked helped us win a hackathon from his ideas. He works at a chill ass company on the front lines of IoT. Thanks to him, I got a new Tessel.
Anyhow, if he wants to kneel @ the altar of PHP, Java, and .NET, then, sure, lots of menial labor ahead. There's A LOT of those shitty jobs around. He just has to pay attention to company culture and what those companies use.

They actually go great together. There's been an explosion of statistics in programming in the form of data science and big data.

It's all about what org you're a part of and what team.
