The same goes for translation and localization.
You don't get experienced translators if you don't have entry-level translators.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.
There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
