> failure teaches you which mistakes to avoid next time
As a recent grad who has been fired from two jobs, I would be afraid to join a poorly written project because I would worry that I would fail and then be fired.
Learning how to be successful is pretty important and teaches you things you cannot learn from lurching from failure to failure.
- jschwartzi 11y agoEven the jobs with poorly-written codebases teach you a lot. Only they're teaching you through experience what is or isn't maintainable.
- distracted828 11y agoSure, but at a certain point, you need to learn a method to writing a maintainable codebase. Otherwise you never become capable of building a successful project.
