You've got to love companies that have the don't be "clever" attitude... Whats the point of hiring skilled workers to just dumb them down. I've stopped counting the companies that openly stated, "we don't pay you to think," only to see them stuck in an endless loop of mediocrity.
- hultner 8y agoA company that doesn't pay it's engineers to think is surely doomed from achieving any significant innovation. Doesn't seem like viable strategy at all, I'd run the other way if I were approach by such a company.
- kstrauser 8y agoOur policy is to avoid cleverness - think "code golf" - that is going to be opaque and hard to reason about at 2AM when things are on fire. We don't shy away from language features, but if you have a PR with multiply-nested generator expressions, for instance, someone will usually ask you to unroll that into a set of explicit loops.
