ive never actually seen someone get fired for making some deep architectural software mistake. its alway for moving too slow, or "low code quality". i think people that were promoted for building systems that turned out bad, shoul

what I see alot is that the syntax and overall code architecture is text book, but its the completely wrong approach that creates extremely complicated tech debt. All the code reviews will be on the syntax, and none on the big picture of th

Very very few positions for these people to go to. Also, their skills were made obsolete by LLMs.
