Lol I'm sorry but the average FAAMG level developer is far superior to the average developer. You're not going to be able to win that bet.

- freeopinion 5y agoI don't have to hire average developers. Obviously, I will need some exceptional developers.
- cylde_frog 5y agoPeople that work at FANGs frequently say this isn't true
- wittycardio 5y agoIn my experience the good teams have truly exceptional people and the bad teams are filled with people who would be superstars elsewhere. But yeah this isn't proof and hey maybe I'm just saying that because I'm not that good , which is definitely possible.
- cylde_frog 5y agoYeah that makes sense. I'm sure after 5+ years there you would be far better than the average developer. I am talking from the perspective of people that I've seen go to those companies. Sure they were above average programmers, smart and driven but they weren't superstars or truly exceptional.
- ohgodplsno 5y agoAh yes, that must by why Google's golang has been created because, by the creators own words, Google's hires are not able to pick up things fast enough and that the language was made simple in purpose. Wasting 500k on an expensive school that pretends you're going to be an engineer, then learning how to reverse a tree on a blackboard so you can be hired at Google or Amazon doesn't make you a code wizard. That's a very expensive code monkey.
