Annie distills the business case for investing in junior engineers into a simple equation: teaching forces clarity, and if DORA is right — which they usually are — AI amplifies clarity. Companies that invest in mentorship will achieve more velocity, better solutions, and stronger business outcomes because the teaching process itself creates the clarity that AI tools then magnify. She also frames this in terms of shareholder value, arguing that making apprenticeship and mentorship valuable is directly tied to making the company more valuable.
