I mean, if you’re junior and you’ve just learned JavaScript, it’s not difficult. I’ve met a lot of monied people who seem to think a junior dev with a few weeks of JavaScript training is equivalent to a senior engineer with a degree. It never works out, at least not for the smart people.
- wmij 8y agoIsn't this why you do pull requests, code reviews and QA before deploying? You need to make sure that the more senior(s) on the team and proper testing catch these things before deploying.
- sushid 8y agoWhy are you so against junior devs? I've personally never met a junior dev who just starts going ahead and upgrading various dependencies, as you suggest. If anything, that shows a lack of proper hiring decision on you and your team's part. I do, however, agree that their practices are horrible (just look at their console, they're console.logging random things, running the dev mode of Firebase, and fetching some USD conversion call 10x on load with no caching) and they're lucky Google bailed them out at the last minute.
