Isn't this why companies have employees with different levels of experience?
Need a bog standard app to stream audio files? Give it to the person you hired right out of college, or maybe even the summer intern. She's never built something like this before, so to her it will be a challenging novel problem. A (somewhat) more experienced developer may need to provide initial guidance and review code, but that's a comparatively minor time investment, and besides, the act of mentoring someone else should keep it interesting.
- sigstoat 3y ago> Isn't this why companies have employees with different levels of experience? this runs into another common mistake businesses make: putting people onto a task because they're available, not because they're suited to it (in any sense). the junior person (+ a little mentorship) would be great for the job, but they're mired in some big project. but hey, you've got this super senior fellow sitting around waiting for work, and we can bill the customer more for them, anyways.
