Having worked for many years in IT in Denmark I would say that the author is right, but many of these are luxury beliefs, since in Denmark people are given alot more time to do their job right than in many places. In many parts of the world developers are not given the time to understand anything, and end up working 8 hours after the job to understand the tools in their own time
- dudul 3y agoHow is Denmark so special in that regards? What are examples of these places where people are not given the time to do their job right?
- zubairq 3y agoWhy Denmark is so special in that regard I do not know, but for Europe in general if you are directly employed by a company you get good training, and the ability to get a lot of help and support from colleagues (based on European consultancies that I have worked for). I've also worked for Asian consultancies and there is more of a sweatshop mentality in those companies where "everything" is about the billable hours and there doesn't seem to be the same sort of work/life balance (I'm half Indian just for context so try to see the European and the Asian angles)
