- sschueller 1mo agoNot like companies to fire senior engineers and then hiring two juniors to replace them to optimize expenses... /s
- kolinko 1mo agoAn official motto of a president of one of the biggest software companies in Poland (Comarch) was "you can replace any experienced engineer with a finite amount of sutdents... for half of the cost". It must be super interesting working there rn :D
- bigyabai 1mo agoIf the assignment isn't a 600,000 SLOC greenfield superproject, that's a perfectly acceptable alternative.
- wilkystyle 1mo agoAssuming what GP said is accurate (tokenmaxxers not delivering more value for the usage), the analogy is more like realizing the seniors you hired aren't actually producing any better results than juniors you could get for a quarter of the cost.
