WTF? Unless your system is originally written in a proprietary language that literally no one outside your company knows, I'll say it's a good sign that you need to change team (or change job). Don't work under a director like that.
- Lyngbakr 4y agoAgreed. Coincidentally, I resigned the day before this was announced.
- drewcoo 4y agoSorry if it sounds too cynical, but that's probably the intended effect of a rewrite from what the team knows into Python: staffing changes. A bunch of the (expensive) old guard will leave and they can be replaced with cheap grads, who all know Python. Better luck with the next one!
