I am a bit skeptical about this article.
There are no technical details on language/framework/problem domain. No code examples.
Surely those "Google" (or jiggle as another post said) programmers had some understanding of coding.
Otherwise they would get the wrong Stack Overflow answer and things would inevitably go horribly wrong.
They were doing the right thing for the business for many months. They might not have been able to program from scratch but that is not required most of the time these days.
That is if it is stupid and it works it is not stupid.
- mbrodersen 4y agoThe problem was that the developers could do basic tasks quickly (by copy-pasting) but was stuck doing anything more complicated, showing a lack of actual programming skills. You can probably have a career developing simple CRUD applications that way. But you can’t move beyond that without truly understanding the fundamentals.
