Experience Still Matters. More Than Ever.

There is a growing assumption that experience is becoming less important. AI can now generate code, suggest architecture, and help build systems faster than ever. For many tasks, it feels like the gap between a beginner and an experienced developer is shrinking, and on the surface, that seems...
