False dichotomy. You don't need $500k engineers to write quality software. $150k/yr ones will do it just fine if you teach them how to do it and part ways with those who don't see the value in following basic quality standards.
- falsedan 7y agoI assume you need more than one dev to deliver the kind of project OP is thinking of, so that 500k is for a dev team
- m0zg 7y agoPretty sure the OP meant that only $500K+ per head FANG employees are capable of writing quality software. To be fair, you can't write any other software at FNG (don't know about A): you won't be allowed to check it in. Some people leave due to not being able to pass the readability review. But FANG employment is not a prerequisite. I have personally hired something like 20 engineers of varying seniority and within a month or two, they were cranking out impeccable work.
