IMO he makes the opposite point he's trying to make. He's essentially saying "with rust, junior devs become as effective as senior C++ devs". If the $80k juniors weren't productive this wouldn't work.

This is an interesting perspective.

Real software engineering veterans' strength isn't in the language they use, but in their ability to design and maintain reliable, functional software, regardless of the language.

But, I can see why that argument would fall flat considering such disciplined engineering has been rare for the entire history of software and often pushed aside. A language reset narrative has merit when viewed from the lens of a bureaucrat.

He's not wrong 👀

So I should learn rust?

Except the only Rust jobs are in crypto and he just made all that up to hurt his own feelings
