If you suspect that greater expectations for easy money and prestige in the industry have lead to lower quality code, what else might fall from that?
Would you also expect pockets of the industry where money and prestige were hard to come by (such as video games or experimental open source operating systems) to have better code on average?
- turing_complete 6y agoWell certainly video games are much harder than what most software engineers are doing. And game developers have a strong incentive to carw about performance and efficiency and really push the machine to its limits. I am currently working at a FAANG company and doing game programming on the side. The problems I am facing at my day job are mostly trivial compared to the game and graphics programming I am doing on nights and weekends.
