“His academical record”.
I dropped out of college young, for complicated reasons. It has never, to my knowledge, been an issue with any potential employer.
And I also disagree with wanti g someone with a “good work ethic”, as you say. People with a good work ethic will grind out mediocre code year after year. I want a creative lazy coder who will find a smart solution or piece of automation to save himself work down the road.
- _dark_matter_ 3y agoI've worked with lazy coders and it sucks. It really does. They are not diligent about listening to users, about following standards, about testing, or being thorough. It works in the short term but only for them, not for the team. I despise this trope of lazy coders. The best engineers I've ever worked with were thoughtful, efficient, and hard working. They got things done I didn't know were possible, and then did it again the next day. They write books, develop open source libraries, and speak at conferences. Lazy people don't do that.
