It’s sad the author even had to write this article, but a lot of devs do act and think like this. It’s also one of the reasons bullshit bureaucracy seems to be ever growing.
- throwawaysleep 5y agoA lot of that is just developer/general employee incentives. As an employee, it is far more important for me to avoid blame than to be efficient as I will get no credit for marginal improvements/no hit for marginal harms, but will get blamed if there is a very noticeable bad incident. I am far more likely to have an annoyed boss from the wrong person showing up to work than driving away 100 candidates as the interview seemed hostile.
