I like a little bit of both. They better be downright brilliant if I am going to put up with their ego. I worked with a guy like that once. Yeah, he worked at Google, and "that's not how they did things over there". He was very sure of himself, but being smart is NOT the same as being intelligent. He never missed a chance to throw jabs at our lame, working codebase.
Then he checked in AWS secrets in our main repo and made it public.
- DarkWiiPlayer 5y agoAh yes, it's a massive red flag when people bring up where they used to work to make themselves look good. The "we did things differently at X" is also a huge red flag. Competent people will figure out the different needs of different workplaces instead of just assuming that the biggest name had the best approach. If you think something is good because google does it, you probably don't understand why google did it nor why it worked for google (and whether or not it would work at a different company).
