This also means engineers need to be given the means to do so. From my experience, most engineers are not given the very basics to change things, observe important metrics and metric changes, and take the time to formulate a strategy.
In theory most places are running with slack. In practice they run under capacity, and engineers aren't going to worry about things out of their control.
- quickthrower2 4y agoThe good thing about spending $20k a month on cloud is they will happily take your money, and make it easy to do so, whereas spending the same on a dev means hiring them first which is a bit of a hassle.
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoBeyond ridiculous once you leave SV, by the way. Being difficult about dev salaries but no problem spending 1-10x that on cloud services because one CBA to give their devs time to research costs and metrics.. and then complain why there are so few specialists. The lack of introspection is palpable.
- quickthrower2 4y agoThere is definitely ego. How could I possibly pay a human a million a year? Give it to a corp… no problemo! Reminds me when I worked for a company. Tight with raises but spending half a junior dev salary on some monthly service they never used. And a couple of dev salaries per year on the company party!
