The other side
Skill moves through review comments, recorded calls, shared screens and written decisions. Remote work forced them open. Proximity mentorship was always rationed by seating charts and by who a senior happened to like. Plenty of juniors sat in offices for years learning nothing. A junior on a distributed team can read every architectural argument in the thread. That access is new.
