What do you mean by people engineering?

• moomoo11 4y ago
  People trying to add tons of process and “standards” that involve more promotion driven development and playing politics than.. providing value to customers. Like no offense to other engineers but if people who call themselves engineers can’t understand new systems within a week of joining a team they should probably find other work. I’ve worked on dozens of teams and projects and with the exception of a few where everyone was S tier (the best team experience let’s be real) the rest were mediocre people who somehow were able to spend more time coming up awful implementations (that waste everyone’s time) to get a promotion rather than actually doing their job. Over time nobody maintains these things or people naturally stop using these approaches because they suck, and the problem starts again because some new joker joins and shoots their shot. It’s hard to describe unless you’ve been on the receiving end of it, but it’s pretty common at larger companies.
