Imo this is not good advice for junior software engineers that work for a startup. The truth is most project managers and technical leaders at startups are happy with the quality of their codebases being way below the industry average.
Most senior and mid-level engineers are well aware of this fact, but they avoid bringing it up due to workplace politics and how awkward it is. This leads junior engineers to think they are just learning what to do, while the truth is that they are learning what NOT to do as well.
- watwut 6y agoHow confident you come across is huge part of how others see you. Especially in chaotic environments where leader is not even in position to look closely at your work. If you really overdone it while producing complete crap or stop learning because of it, then yes, it harm you. But in most situations, very confident people do better then humble people of exact same capabilities. Especially in startups and such.
