LLM costs $20 a month and needed only 60 hours of training, junior dev has been at it for years, costs as much for a half hour, and still needed me to repeatedly explain what a rectangle is

If you're paying someone $40 an hour who doesn't know what a rectangle is then I think you're the problem.

The problem is that he's paying $40 an hour and for that you only get someone who knows what a ਆਇਤਕਾਰ is.

I’ve just worked for agencies that hire juniors and outsource. If you’ve seen what I’ve seen you’d change your tune
