Generally speaking they also don't pay software development well so I would guess they aren't exactly getting the best talent either. I think cars are cool, but I wouldn't take a 50% pay cut to develop software for them.
- oppositelock 4y agoIt's not a question of talent, just timing and process. The timing is rigid and there's a hard, non-negotiable deadline when metal starts being stamped. The process around certifying makes you work at a tiny fraction of your normal speed, because most time is spent filling out auditing requirements.
