It seems like the level of experience of the average poster here has been decreasing steadily over time.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI'm sure there's a clever term for it, but a lot of developers (and this is probably a timeless thing) think they can dive into any industry and make a difference, or see things from a different point of view and therefore better. I mean it has a basis in reality, loads of people here will have joined companies that were years behind, companies in new industries. Myself I've gone from cable TV to investment banking to public transit to B2B e-commerce to telcoms to the energy industry, but nowhere did I assume to think I knew better. Not when it came to their main industry anyway, software development and practices, sure, that's kind of my jam. When it comes down to it, every job is just data in, data out, localization and date / number formatting. And trying to get my colleagues to not overcomplicate things, like come on, it's just a simple list view, if you're bored by that you're on the wrong assignment.
