OP here. I am curious. What about tech-excellency?
I am not sure (I have never been to such companies). However, I believe that such problems (tech-debt and mediocre engineering culture) only tend to grow with time.
- web007 5y agoThose things tend to stagnate at some point, where you either fix them / get them to a reasonable level or they kill the company. Check out some of the top company-companies around, something like WalMart, vs a tech-company like Amazon. They don't make their billions a year by being mediocre, but since tech isn't their core business (only supportive thereof) they don't burn people out on it, so will probably have manageable levels of tech debt and average to above-average technical staff. Every company has tech debt and mediocrity, but if you're not changing the wheels on the car while going 110 down the highway it won't affect _you_ nearly as much.
