Are Junior Developers in Trouble Without Basic Coding Knowledge?

This topic stirred up some discussion again recently on one of my videos, and a commenter followed up asking for my opinion six months later.

They had used AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok to build something for work, even though they didn’t have prior programming experience. It was a mix of Python and some database work. They got something up and running--and were honestly impressed they pulled it off.

But they ended their comment with something I think hits the nail on the head:

“If only I knew how it all works, it would be faster than this hit-and-miss approach.”
