If all they are allowed to do is gluing code together they will never learn and will never get better at anything than .. gluing code together. Sounds like a bad idea.
- mamon 10y agoMaybe part of the issue is that I personally never work as full-time employee. I'm more like consultant, hired on per-project basis, so training less experienced developers is neither in my job description nor in my schedule.
- Nursie 10y agoI work as a consultant on a project-basis too. I would tend to consider training up of any permanent staff on the team to be part of my job. Perhaps not on basic technology, but certainly on what we're doing. That way, when I leave, there's still knowledge in house. This may seem to limit business opportunities, but I consider it part of a job well done.
- lmm 10y agoIf gluing code together is sufficient to solve the business problem (and 99.9% of the time it is) then it's probably the most efficient thing to be doing, and absolutely what they should be focusing on.
