Are you tired of having top talent on your team? Want to lose your best employees and fall behind your competition? Then neglect their development! Don’t give them time or resources to learn and grow their skills. Avoid investing in training, especially if you’re considering switching to new tech stacks. And why invest in boosting morale and reducing turnover rates? Who needs a stable workforce anyway? Let your employees feel undervalued and unsupported.

Over the past eight years, we helped some 600 people change their positions to a career in software development. In the early days, I often found myself on the phone battling scepticism; we had to work hard to convince employers to hire the junior developers we educated, but as we progressed, it became normal to hire junior developers, and we got more and more competitors.
