I actually don't hold that opinion because I think a lot of these people are actually pretty smart!
They just aren't oriented to be tech experts. They are really talented at some other thing in life, but ended up in tech chasing the salaries.
- plorkyeran 3y agoYeah, that's something I've noticed. I've worked with a few people who were brilliant and really good at something, but that something wasn't writing software. Even the people who are frustratingly bad at their jobs have rarely made me think they're idiots. They're just not very good at the specific thing they're being paid to do.
