That's not what accountability is
- pixl97 8mo agoAccountability: "Something that SWE's run screaming from". Example: "We should have professional accountability in software" SWE: "This would bring about the end of the world!!!1!"
- bigfishrunning 8mo agoThe economics of software development have lowered the bar for software engineers: there simply aren't enough people who are good at it (or even want to be), and the salaries are very high, so plenty of people who shouldn't be SWE's are. I am a software engineer, and I would absolutely love to see more professional accountability in this field. Unfortunately, it would make the cost of software go up significantly (because many many people writing software would be ejected from the industry)
