I've thought for a while the real solution to bad software is simple: hire intelligent developers who care
Only problem is, they are few and far between... (in my 10+ years in the industry, I've worked with only 3 people who I'd put into this camp)
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoThose intelligent developers who care need to make sure the less intelligent, more indifferent developers up their game. Tools and processes are put in place to mitigate risk from that second group, but it's the seniors that need to be able to transfer their mindset to the others. Which may not always work, mind you. What should be avoided if possible is the hero developer; the risk there is that the hero dies or moves on and leaves behind unmaintainable work.
- mirceal 9y agoThe risk? Hahaha. It’s the reality. The hero eventually moves on an you’re left holding the bag
