Late to the party but a potentially leading question if you ever see this:
- Was the original team slowly replaced due to cost cutting measures and thusly the people who joined aren't compensated well enough to dive super deep into the system to understand it?
At some point people need to be compensated to care is my theory. Engineers who inherit large systems are either scared or simply don't care, possibly a mixture. But compensate them enough in both salary, time, freedom to understand the code which is clearly critical in maintaining the long term viability of the system.
Thoughts?
- achenet 4y agomostly agree. If I feel underpaid, I'll do the strict minimum to not get fired and spend my energy looking for another job.
- twawaaay 4y agoSo here is one thing I differ with you on. If I feel underpaid, I will do my normal work as best as I can and start looking for another job. I always try to leave on best terms. You really don't risk anything, you actually improve your possibility of fixing the problem without leaving. And in my case it led to at least couple more opportunities. Not to mention the world seems small enough and on many occasions I joined the company only to learn I will be working in vicinity of somebody I worked with in the past.
