Not everyone needs to be a senior developer on day one. I know I've got plenty of work which isn't making the best use of my skills but still needs doing, so the next hire will probably be a bootcamp graduate who we can slowly train up, and who will find the grunt work interesting while we do. We get the easy stuff done for less, and they get to develop their career, which seems like a pretty good deal to me.



I'd be particularly selective. The ability to do grunt work is not indicative of the ability to blossom into a full fledged dev.
