Yes! Was trying to keep the 2 points tightly integrated but your thinking is definitely closer to analog31's interpretation of the political economics.
There can be a cyclical aspect to the situation: the new hire gives up fixing legacy and rewrites the base out of anger. Probably many other archetypes that I missed, all of which resemble the basic setup. One might also generalize "coding culture" to "culture around legal codes".
To pile on your point: meanwhile, the suboptimal job market conditions (shall we say) preps the engineering culture for vicious spirals
- analog31 2y agoThese are all good points, but the people I'm talking about at a high level are more like managers, not devs. The managers haven't even expressed an interest in managing anything.
- gsf_emergency 2y agoAh you are the OP? Thank you for getting the conversation started in a promising direction! Apologies for fixating on the analog instead of the referent, wish you would expand more on this snipe :) >the hacks to get it done this time actually make it harder on an ongoing basis.
