You're right, "magic" is generally when someone doesn't take the time to understand things. A busy CTO may not have time, so more things seem like magic to them. What's inexcusable is to inflict the rest of your team with your nonsense. |

I got in a bit of a disagreement with teammates at a previous job. I liked these teammates, they were very smart and nice people, but for a specific project I wanted to use LMAX Disruptor, and the excuse for not using it was very literally “we don’t want to make people learn anything”.
That stuff blows my mind; aren’t we engineers? If we’re not willing to learn new things and adapt, what exactly are we offering that a high school kid who bought an “Intro to Java” and “Intro to Spring” book can’t?
