Someone once explained that MS hires a lot of short-term contractors who then don't own the consequences of the code they write. I wonder if this is still true

- deepsun 4y agoSame thing in other faang companies, even with employees, who got the promotion and got hunting for another one. You won't get promoted for supporting an existing project.
- sgerenser 4y agoProbably not. Contractors tend to be hired for a lot for non engineering tasks (admin, recruiting, facilities) and the sometimes to fill out a dev team with specific skill sets or to cover some grunt work. In my experience on dev teams (in the US at least) FTEs outnumber contractors by at least 8:1, so I’d be surprised if much was done on Windows Terminal by contractors. (I work for Microsoft but not on anything even adjacent to Windows Terminal).
