    Junior compiler writers exist.

    Not really? But we also don’t need a million compilers. Those projects are extremely specialized and there isn’t constant demand for new compilers.

    It’s something like saying there aren’t junior screwdriver makers. I mean, yeah? That’s a specific tool that’s pretty much done. There are juniors in the wider fields of carpentry and mechanical engineering. Someone might invent a new screwdriver, but we don’t need to trim a bunch of juniors to make, specifically, new screwdriver designs.
