Completely agree - I've been at startups with 20-40 people where I was the best developer in the company...with 1 1/2 years of experience. I left those places quickly, it reeks of not knowing what they are doing.
These places all had in common heavy interest in outsourcing when timelines were tough. They just wanted stuff done quickly, and didn't put importance on the execution. What that does is frustrates the developers that have to fix the bugs and refactor the heavily coupled code, and ultimately makes good developers want to leave.
- fat0wl 12y agoyep it is messy like that even at corps, but thankfully once you deliver on a few good projects & show you are reliable they will often let you rip up a codebase & re-format the project as you'd like (perhaps while phasing out the previous iteration) rather than inheriting a codebase that you feel is..... beneath you (for lack of a less pompous phrase) :D it's cool, it lets you keep to some level of personal standards once you have management's trust (took me about a year & a half i think? to be able to oppose a conservative architectural recommendation & win)
