As both a military officer and a senior JavaScript developer for a Fortune 50 company the problem, industry-wide, in this slice of software is weak leadership completely opposed to quality in institutional terms.
Institutionalized quality would include:
* Uniform minimum accepted standards of practice.
* Uniform foundations of minimum accepted product quality.
* Uniform accepted measures and metrics.
* Formal training dedicated to standards and software as a platform, not tools.
* Credentials to certify standards of practice and conformance to ethics therein.
Instead children are left to drive the bus and cry about how hard life is. Anytime this subject comes up there appears to be no adults in the room.
- solraph 5y agoThis is an under-rated comment. The industry as a whole lacks discipline. Nobody wants to do things that are "boring". I've seen some movement in some aspects - I no longer have to fight for introducing automated testing - however this is mostly cargo-culting which means I have to fight for doing things in a relevant way instead of accepting copy/pasting stack overflow.
