I really agree with the article author. The skill of being able to get into a codebase and add an iterative feature like a multiply operation when there’s an addition is huge. It’s something I failed to do when I was a software engineer. I had to study and understand every part of the codebase before I did anything. I was paralayzed. But that understanding would have come over time if I just added features incrementally like I was asked to. I didn’t last very long at that position. Luckily I found data engineering and I much prefer that anyway.
