@shanselman@hachyderm.io hey Scott, very good analysis and solution to a problem that might work well in a different society. In fact, that's the society I would prefer to live in. I would love to help the EiCs along, as I already try to do, but there are very few in our society.
I know you are the academics in this discussion but we have to address the real-world problem that the EiCs face. It's not the lack of support from the experienced, it's the lack of support from employers.

Our bosses tell us they would love to hire more help, but they don't have the money. They want us to use AI *instead* of hiring less efficient EiCs and mentoring them. Mentoring may be a requirement for long-term success and stability but the Venture and Equity owners of just about everything are not concerned about anything long-term. Make it big and brash so that some other poor slob or maybe wallst will buy the company and then if the products die, fine. Get us to IPO or sale, and no further
