A proposal.
You know what would be cool? If developers can work in other companies for a few months. Kind of like developer exchange program.
It would be very refreshing for the developers to re-energize with new work, and companies can enjoy the benefits of excited new talent!
- alloftheabove 13y agoThis would be cool. biggest hurdle would probably be employees taking company secrets with them, so maybe it would work better with only open source development
- tagabek 13y agoSo... internships?
- btaitelb 13y agoThis is what I love about consulting - I can experience different team cultures and projects, and learn what works and doesn't work for various teams.
- jmsbrwr 13y agoI've never made software professionally, but I imagine the curve of getting used to a new company's systems would eat up most of that time, making it more of a hassle than it's worth. If there is a way to overcome that though, this sounds like a cool idea.
- mansigandhi 13y agoThe "learning curve + getting up to pace" cost might beat the pros. And like alloftheabove mentioned, company secrets will definitely be a issue with the larger companies.

- peterchon 13y agoWell, as a front-end developer I'm pretty comfortable using a lot of technology (Ruby to .NET) My proposal is to really have companies to align their resources for shared knowledge. I think the managers would have to be the one to make the call about what information is being accessed by that said employee.
