To me that is a huge red sign that something is seriously wrong with the company. Bringing in a bunch of new people and having them work long hours does not seem conducive to good code.
- mlyle 4y agoNot everything is permanent code that has to be maintained forever. Sometimes you have a migration, or a bunch of data to suck in one time from a vendor or acquisition, or whatever. You can run appropriate quality checks to bound the error rate.
