...and then you go on to explain in business terms that only apply to the handful of companies that have cargo-culted similar dev team designs and incentives.
I started writing a comment here about how my current employer structures and incentivizes maintenance but I've deleted it and decided not to give it away that info for free.
- jboy55 5y agoI don't think the culture I designed is a 'cargo-cult', but more of the result of a first order solution to designing engineer incentives. "We want to encourage engineers to get better over time, be entrepreneurial and feel in charge of their promotion" leads directly to "Maintenance work does not allow me to succeed".
