I felt this in my soul as soon as I read it. The number of people writing code who should not even be speaking to others because of how clearly they don't understand anything technical is unfathomably high.
Our industry hires seat fillers and tells them to write software. And then they do, and it's every bit as bad as it sounds.
- withinboredom 2y agoSame. Some genius hired a "software architect" who doesn't know how to write code. When I asked the genius why he would do that, he said it was because regular architects don't know how to build houses, so why would he know how to program? That was some next-level shit. He showed us a diagram once where the database was calling github which was calling a microservice. These are the days before Github had a CI, so it was pretty funny.
