If the time a programmer spends collaborating is more than the time they spend reading and writing code, they are optimizing for something other than software outcomes. And I appreciate that this is one of the lowest points for employment and advancement on the basis of demonstrated merit in the history of the business, maybe that's a smart play for people with certain priorities. Not my cup of tea. I'm trying to become the absolute best I can be every single day at the absolute limit of my abilities and hopefully just a little bit past them as measured yesterday. I think competence as criteria is going to make a big comeback fairly soon.
