| > For examle, take a react web developer - that only knows React, who think that the React way is the only way, read some blogs written by a junior programmer - and take it as a truth. At least they read blog posts and spend some time learning. They might be better material that senior that did 10 years of same Java Spring. > Fire them all, and hire 2 real senior devs at 250k$/y each. And Rewrite the whole stack. It will be faster on the long term. It is not easy to find two good senior developers. > For examle, take a react web developer - that only knows React, who think that the React way is the only way, read some blogs written by a junior programmer - and take it as a truth. If they know react that, great. Well done, ts react codebase can absorb take a lot of shitty code. > You can't fix people who cannot learn because of their belief that they already know everything. They will take anything personally that goes in the way of their ego. You can do a lot. You can mentor junior people, you can setup CI/CD with a lot of automatic checks, you can hire QA person, you can lead by example. In my current role, I introduced typescript, jest unit testing, helped with cypress e2e, refactored a lot of code and did a lot of work on CI/CD. With a few Senior devs, we can still onboard new devs and push new features. |
