This is not really my experience. Most devs within a corporate structure are lazy and will do the bare minimum.
- bedobi 3y agoFair enough, but even if you’re lazy, it’s legitimately difficult to design a chat or email app that takes gigs and gigs of ram. You really have to try hard to bloat it as much as possible. But that bloat comes naturally with the incentive structure of the modern software industry.
- alphabettsy 3y agoIs that because of incentives? I’ve repeatedly seen absolutely terrible developers who ship rapidly praised over developers who are skilled and deliberate. I think it’s even more complicated than that but I agree many developers don’t care or don’t know better, but that’s true of any job.
