This is symptomatic of modern software development practices which, with excessive planning, "user stories", and recursive mangling down of features into disparate sprint tasks, manages to inject a stymying amount of beaurocracy in an effort to typecast developer ability into interchangeable cogs and embrace attrition instead of fostering craftsmanship.
How many 10x engineers are being forced into a 1x mold just so a sea of 0.7x engineers can be shimmed into the same 1x mold?
- mlazos 4y agoThe irony is meta has none of these things. It’s the least bureaucratic place I’ve ever worked. Whether or not that’s a good thing I’ll leave up to the reader.
- xorvoid 4y agoHow many 0.7x engineers are there? If num(0.7x) >> num(10x) then this is an optimal strategy. IMHO, this is why you see large companies operate this way. Also, the 10x engineers are often repelled by overly large orgs anyways.. further biasing things.
- bushbaba 4y agoThe 10x engineer might also not be building software in a manner that is long lived and easily contributed to by a large team.
- pimlottc 4y agoHow many 10x engineers are racing full speed ahead making products that no one wants?
