Software engineers, what did you wish you knew before joining your company?
Calling all software engineers/web developers, what things do you wish you knew about your company before joining that you found out the hard way after joining?
And how do you think you could eradicate this problem in the future?
- justjoeyuk 7y agocoding standards, validity of the bullshit that recruiters were spouting and whether the managers were competent or not.
- moksly 7y agoCoding standards are probably a myth.
- byoung2 7y agoAt my company they are enforced with a linting profile and commit hooks...your PR will be rejected if it is not formatted according to standards. For code structure, PR reviews will catch bad practices and when building new functionality an architecture review is required. Coding standards are not a myth.
- kediz 7y agoThe team you will be joining will make a way bigger impact than the company.
- otwebdev 7y agoTrue, I believe this. The question was more what do you wish you knew about your company, i.e. is there anything you were disappointed about that you wish you knew before, i.e. poor coding standards, poor management etc
