If you accept that engineering skill fits the normal distribution, it's less likely that they are "terrible" than merely average. Amazing 10X engineers could still pull off shipping a working product even with all the organizational handicaps I mentioned in my earlier post. This doesn't excuse the deficiencies of the organization, nor does it mean that "average" engineers are undesirable or can't do good work. I agree with the theme of the cited article--rather than scapegoat the engineers and pay external consultants to "fix their mistakes", fix the organization and enable the engineers to do quality work. |

They could. They're also good enough that they could easily say, "Fuck that shit" and go work somewhere that doesn't have that toxicity. And unless you have a significant ownership stake in the company, I don't see why you wouldn't do just that. Life is too short to work shitty jobs if you have the option not to.
