Doesn’t preclude the ability, no, but there are only so many hours in the day.
Writing good code is a very separate skill set from that kind of problem-space work, and software engineers are mostly hired for the former.
- sarchertech 3y agoOnce you get to staff+ level, engineers are no longer hired mostly for writing good code.
- ketzo 3y agoThat’s fair, but that is… what, 1% of all software engineer hires?
- sarchertech 3y agoI don’t know about as a percent of total hires, because staff+ engineers tend to stick around a bit longer. But in my current bigco it’s a bit north of 10% and I’ve seen it go as high as 20%.
