I believe what he said was that he can move a lot faster on things than his engineers. As the founder of a company I'm sympathetic. No one could ever understand the product as well as me, at this point, because I built almost all of the critical code (this is less and less the case, thankfully, and I'm very happy to say that there are now solid chunks of code where I am NOT the authority on code). That's not "they're worse engineers", they definitely aren't lol. But if you've spent years of your time on a codebase it's going to take years for anyone to be as quick to fix a bug. I think this is sort of obvious. Imagine fixing a bug in your own personal project, compare that to fixing a bug in someone else's project. You can probably see the error and guess what the bug is, accurately, if it's your project. With someone else's code you're going to have to reverse engineer the system first. |
