If the code is so smart that it's not easily understandable, it's not easily fixable. My transition from junior to senior was accompanied by the realization that simpler is nearly always better.
replyGood programmers write code that’s so simple and obvious it looks like anyone could have written it.
replyBad programmers make the simplest things really complicated.
Great programmers write code that makes you wonder why everyone doesn't do it like that.
replyWrite me simple AI inference code that has high performance in big batches.
replyI don't know enough to speak about that particular domain, but if the junior is writing something the senior can't understand, that's always going to be a problem. That code becomes the team's responsibility, and that code needs to be able to be maintained by the entire team, not only by the junior with something to prove.
replyWho is getting called at 2 AM when something breaks? Not the junior.
Hehe you think L9s do oncall? Senior not understanding is a problem all right. It's not necessarily junior's problem.
replyI feel like you keep missing the point and are more interested in gotcha's.
