I don’t know you at all aside from this post, so I could be off the mark, but I suspect you need to find a better place of employment. Places where people exercise discretion and aim for quality and ship quality do exist. They are not the norm, but they absolutely exist.
- alisonatwork 4y agoThanks for the suggestion. I am pretty happy in my current place of employment where I fortunately haven't (yet) encountered this, but I have definitely been surprised in previous jobs where I encountered it despite hiring standards that theoretically should have rejected this type of candidate at the outset. I have even worked with ex-FAANG colleagues who had this approach to development. I have come to think there is only so much you can do to try solve this in the hiring funnel... Eventually people who don't code very well or don't take code quality seriously will slip through, especially in larger companies.
