> [...] you can improve things noticeably if you just... care... and think things through [...] This. Also: What the blogpost highlights well in this regard is that since the "bar" is orthogonal to real world skills and/or motivation, not only will you reject great developers who do (or would) care, there's also some chance you gather others who don't instead. I'm also under the impression that "not caring" in this sense contributes largely to problems as those discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17164728 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17164728 (i.e. just ship what the customer/boss wants, don't bother understanding the problems or think things through)
