So you're taking a dubious theory (tech-debt => hire juniors => more tech-debt, repeat), applying it industry-wide and then using it as an argument against JUST VETERANS from pursuing a career-change into software?
- metaphorm 10y agowhere did he apply his argument against JUST VETERANS?
- jondubois 10y agoI have no problems with veterans wanting to become coders. What I don't want more of are people who go into this profession only for the sake of making more money - These people are only driving up software complexity and not actually adding value to their companies. Software engineering is one of the few professions that let you get more money by delivering a lower quality product (assuming that your manager is sufficiently non-technical).
