- lll-o-lll 4y agoThis is a big, big company problem in my opinion. If you have a dev force mostly just adding to an existing system, they never learn design skills. Those that built the system inevitably leave over time, and now you’re stuck unable to attract talent because “old tech stack”, and without staff that could build something new. Don’t stay at a company that’s gotten into that state. If your young, try and gain a mix of experience so you can actually gain those design skills.
