  • I agree.

    One can’t claim to love programming while calling the act of writing code being a code monkey. Whatever they actually love about the process may not exist in the industry.

    I would suggest they explore alternative roles and perhaps alternative industries. They sound like they are new to the industry so their ability to land a senior role is likely to lead to different disappointments.

    The best way to do something, often isn’t the best way to implement something. That’s why this is a senior role. The author does not appear to understand this concept and will be horribly disappointed when their perfect architecture is ignored by the realities of development.

    You would be wrong.

    I’ve read the article a couple times now trying to understand why this resonates so hard with some people.

    I have tried to bring up what I feel are valid points and the responses are not engaging with what I’ve discussed but acting like I lack the ability to understand.

    I get that attacking me is easier than addressing my points; I have the social skills of a software engineer after all.

    I like code because there is no arguing. It’s just math.

    People on other hand are caught up in emotions and ego, creating anecdotes to fit their biases.

    I can’t fix the tangled mess of the human mind, but I can fix the crazy spaghetti code those type of people create.

    You feel dismissed, I say classified.

    IT experience is not equivalent to software developer experience.

    Machine learning and running high performance are hand in hand.

    But machine learning is not software engineering, it tool usage. It’s not the same job title.

    I do know why you are taking this comment personally since it wasn’t even directed at you but the other responses.

    Ok, so you’re not a software engineer. That’s good to know.

    I did not say it has to be kpi on whatever other jargon you want to throw at it.

    Software engineers slogan is: enough time and motivation .

    Except when it comes to evaluating ourselves then it’s just not possible.

    How can that be?

    The bullshit excuses we tell ourselves is how we’ve ended up with ridiculous interview cycles with take home test.

    Did my best with #3 but I continue to suspect most of the people in these fediverses are very young and therefore inexperienced.

    I’ve stated an opinion that aligns with what I’ve read in the hacker news discussion and the responses are aggressive.

    Cargo cult is strong here. No discussions will form while the ditto heads carry the majority.

    Tim should be fired for insubordinate and his lead should be fired for protecting him.

    I get that every shit developer thinks they a Tim or aspires to be one but Tim is a lazy developer doing the fun parts without producing.

    Everyone here is assuming Tim is something because you’ve told he is by the lead.

    It’s troubling.

    I understand the justification.

    I am not convinced.

    There is zero evidence that the team performs better or worse since at no point did Tim stop being Tim. There is no base line.

    If Tim had tried to pick up some points and the result was the rest of the team stumbling, that would be one thing. Tim didn’t, he kept doing his own thing because his team lead is afraid of Tim.

    Tim should be fired.
