I don’t know what stacks are in the present context, but knowing what I do of the people discussing them, I assume it has something to do with slurp juices and apes and losing lots of money.

Decon posted:Just don't write bugs. Fire the devs that write bugs and hire more eXtreme ones. Failing to do so is just politics. One of the reasons I am happy to be out of tech is the everpresent dream of the Purely Logical systems and solutions. People imagining, like some sort of libertarian paradise, this wonderfully complex yet simple process and product, unsullied by the influences of those who don't comprehend tech, as a team comes together to will one man's vision into reality. It's always complete bullshit. When a leader says there were no issues on an organizational level like this it's because his underlings worked their asses off to make sure nothing came back to the boss because he would just make things even worse than they were.

Most techies have been cringing at the uneducated diarrhea he's been spewing, but there's a small and loud subset of CEOs making LinkedIn posts in the "you gotta hand it to him" vein and it's been really useful in making lists of companies I don't have to apply to in the future

ruddiger posted:Where’s the engineer goon, I need to see if they concur or not I'm an engineer goon and she's bang on correct. Most important engineering traits: 1. If it ain't broke, don't gently caress with it 2. If it works but could be better, determine if the cost and risk of the changes are worth it. If not, back to 1 3. You have no idea what the person who originally put the system in place was dealing with so don't backseat driver it. It just makes you look like an rear end in a top hat to rip on another person's work without knowing the whole story. 4. Admit when you don't know stuff, and try to figure out how to learn about it/who to ask. Probably the biggest growth mindset I've had in my 20 or so year career is just constantly realizing I don't know poo poo about most poo poo unless it is stuff I have been immersed in for quite some time. But get outside of that? Defer to someone else who has been immersed in that area.

Most decent engineers have a formative experience where they looked at something that seemed way too complex for what it was doing, took it upon themselves to try to simplify it, and ended up creating something equally (if not more) complex, having wasted a lot of time in the process

ruddiger posted:Where’s the engineer goon, I need to see if they concur or not I run multiple teams that are refactoring a system that is probably not nearly as complex as the ones Twitter has but we have a similar size of userbase and scale, Sarah is speaking the truth in that thread, but imho the worst thing that Musk did was ruin the trust, trash the coherency of the teams, and basically smashed in like a wrecking ball to what would have evolved over time to be a stable and productive environment (probably; the few Twitter engineers I've met or interacted with gave me that kind of vibe). If he'd spent a few weeks building understanding and rapport with the various teams he could have started tentatively putting together some ideas, reworking and trimming teams, mould the company towards his vision with the support of some of the staff. Instead he waded in with 'love me or leave!', 'get hardcore coding!', 'sleep in the office!', 'I have a great idea don't bother doing the sums this will save the company!'. I know very few engineers who will tolerate that kind of turd being laid directly on their desk. Even paid well enough, you can only work at that pace and in that environment for maybe a few weeks/a month before you start to suffer and your work goes to hell. It's why most tech-heavy companies will have a really good mental health framework - it's not just beanbags and fancy coffee machines (things Elon auctioned off almost instantly). Oh, when I say our systems aren't as complex as Twitters, I still reckon on around 3 months to know the systems a engineer will be working with directly (fairly nasty/osbcure tech stack, which is why we're refactoring it). Maybe 6 months to know the systems around that fairly well (there's a lot of those). Maybe a year before I'd trust someone to go on-call supporting our full suite of products and know what horrors lurk in various corners of our systems and code repos.

CharlestheHammer posted:Didn’t he quit because of managerial pushback? First of all, Elon is a genius and certainly the best engineer this world has seen. Second, I left Twitter because it was obviously going down the shitter because of a complete loving moron at the helm making the dumbest decisions possible without the slightest clue of how anything works. Also we don't have food in the cafeteria anymore. Third, Elon Musk is a god among men and I wish he'd let me suck off his toes just one time, is that too much to ask?

Data Graham posted:Saying things like "We need to just rewrite the whole stack, throw it all out and start over from scratch" is the perfect know-nothing thing to say This made me think of a couple tweets I saw a while ago so I went back and found it. The realization that looking like a slob and acting too cool (this guy wants to REWRITE THE STACK, oh my god, he's playing LEAGUE OF LEGENDS during this meeting?!) is just part of the scam to make themselves look like they're seeing things at another level hit me like a truck. https://twitter.com/SzMarsupial/status/1592967063965863936 A couple tweets later, they mention that the "tech genius that is such a brilliant engineer that the rules of collaboration don't apply to them" doesn't exist and oh hey wonder if that's relevant.

It is one of those things that can't really be taught in school I suppose, but it would be an interesting course project where they're given the best working course project from a previous year and the goal is solving for efficiency. Find out who realizes the most efficient thing to do is not gently caress with it and turn in the end project basically unchanged, get an A+
