High-schoolers are even cheaper and easier to exploit than new grads, and if I don't care if they know nothing as long as they can prop up our crappy app just long enough for me to the company, pocket a bunch of cash, get them all fired, and move on to my next "entrepreneurial" venture while preaching to people about being an innovator and a job creator. Maintenance is for whichever sucker ends up holding the shit bag, because I've got mine.

AI coding is just the latest spin on this age-old practice.
