There is, but once in a while you need some person that knows what they're doing. Those positions tend to stay open longer because they can't find the guy they're looking for. Junior Dev position gets bombarded with applications in any second of the day.

That’s the joke, yes. Thank you for explaining it. One problem is that software development is not a real profession, so it’s a free for all nightmare.

Also, it’s not once in a while; I’m telling you that I’ve seen trillions of senior positions and a handful of junior or trainee positions.

Yes that was the joke, you always need someone that knows what they're doing or your business is operating on fraud.

I know it is not once in a while, it's the joke I made.
