This is a very poor characterization. It's not the job of junior engineers from foreign countries to write perfect Medium posts. Also the article was chock full of facts, there were facts in every sentence.

This statement trivializes far too much the mechanics of code and software. The 'process requirements' like RFCs, tech specs and requirements, are important, but they're not generally that hard. It takes 5 years of being surr

Not sure about that. In coding, leadership by example and mentorship are one of the most fundamental aspects of true leadership. In fact, if you have junior devs, the most rapid way to make them more productive, is by putting them with seni
