Hiring juniors is risky.

Whiteboard interviews don't reflect real work

Git mistakes break builds and slow teams

"Can code" ≠ "can ship safely"

Bad hires cost $15k–$50k in lost time

Most teams find this out after the hire.

We show it before.

$ git push origin main
! [rejected] main -> main (non-fast-forward)

$ npm run build
ERROR: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'
Build failed. 24 errors.
// Production is down for 3 hours
// Senior dev has to fix it
// $50k in lost productivity
