> That's nice and all but don't let your boss hire multiple cheaper "developers" and expect you to train them.

I would avoid filling a company with too many learners and not enough teachers, but some teaching will generally be a necessity. The more they know:

- The fewer mistakes they'll make for me to run into, have to help clean up, or otherwise suffer

- The fewer mistakes of mine will go uncaught by their reviews, for me to run into, have to clean up, or otherwise suffer

- The fewer tasks will fall on my plate by necessity, giving me more flexibility in what I work on or when I take time off

And hey, cheaper hires means bigger potential raises, right? :)
