- ip26 5y agoEven more simply, all engineers are not great engineers, and somebody is employing the ones that aren’t great.
- wittycardio 5y agoGo even further and conclude that most engineers are shit , which is why managers have jobs in the first place. The best teams are highly self driven and self organizing
- bb88 5y agoWhat's worse, is if you happen to hire a great engineer, you have to keep the pay raises and bonuses coming to that star engineer. Otherwise, he'll move on and take the %30 pay raise with a new job. The punishment/reward metric is skewed toward punishment in most companies.
- mbrodersen 5y agoNot my experience at all. I worked as a manager of small to large development teams for 8+ years and my conclusion is that great developers can be cheap, and bad developers are always expensive (because of their negative productivity/impact).
