> I kind of emphatize with the author raging at "just copy C++ bro" proposals because at $TWO_JOBS_AGO I had to deal with an "Architecture Team" full of Very Senior(tm) people who would show up uninvited and give advice like "did you know you can pee and poo at the same time?"
My sides. This is the most hilarious and accurate summary of every org where I’ve worked.
Thank you.
- ryandrake 2y ago+1 It's amazing how we've all encountered these guys at least once in our careers (and often more, at many companies). A lot of times they are "founding engineers" from a decade ago who were employee number 2 and 3 or something, and once knew quite a bit about the codebase. They are too high-paid to code anymore, but they still fly in, dispense their "wisdom" all over the junior folks, then flap their wings and disappear for a few months.
