Because a spark of genius is better than rote diligence in software.
Say what you want about Americans, but few of them are wickedly clever and intelligent at the same time.
- selimthegrim 3y agoWhat’s the difference?
- VirusNewbie 3y agoHmm, i’m speculating but I’m thinking even the entry level software engineer has a lot of room to possibly fuck something up. Even if your architect/staff engineer comes up with a fantastic system, there’s still the possibility of the jr engineer screwing up their tiny piece and implementing a 2^n solution and then the whole system crumbles. Conversely, there’s room for (constrained) creativity from the bottom level as well. This sounds quite different than say, chip manufacturing where I imagine there’s more or a binary “you did the thing” or “you didn’t”. However I have very little insight into the process so I’m likely over simplifying.
