I have to disagree with that statement. There are such and I've worked with such far more than I'd even want to imagine. There have been entire releases where I've had to re-do everything they've done from scratch because code reviewing simply wasn't going to cut it: Spend 2 weeks explaining what they've done wrong and then reviewing it all over again from scratch while the deadline is right around the corner. In their final months they were literally given nothing to do because we couldn't allocate the resource to clean up after them. But I'd have to quote Niki Lauda for those particular individuals: "At some point, it's no longer a question of experience, but a matter of intelligence".
- toyg 7y agoThe point of TFA is that this sort of people exist in any profession. I can assure you there are plenty of "bad" accountants, or the taxman would not have to spend billions to review tax returns. There are plenty of "bad" lawyers, or we wouldn't have mistrials and wrongful convictions. And let's not even look at anybody involved in real-estate processes. And still, the hiring process for professions that are much more critical for everyday life than "guaranteeing cat videos download on time" is much more forgiving.
- axegon_ 7y agoThat is true, though I must also add that some of the ones in question came from prestigious and world renowned universities. Once you'd struggle to get in(in theory apparently, because otherwise I have no idea how that works). They all had the "senior developer" in their titles with near or double digit years of experience.
