l4rz argues the "junior 10x developer" doesn't exist as a person but as a person plus constraints: AI tools changed not how much a junior can produce, but how much unverified output they can produce. The core skill shifts from typing to verification — reading code you didn't write, testing it, finding planted bugs in AI-generated PRs.
