> I am still incredulous that someone has thought that yes, this is exactly how an organization should manage its software engineers.
I'm not I have literally heard a software engineer which was since recently responsible for hiring just saying just a few sentences apart:
- oh we shouldn't hire this person they only ever worked for the same company so they must not interested in learning and improving themself
and then
- oh we shouldn't hire that person they have switched companies every 2-3 years so they must be bad at their job and jump companies before they get fired
... wtf
and that person didn't get that opinion due to being crazy or so but from spending ~2 days to read up on what you need to look out for when hiring people, i.e. from other software enginers, software project managers and people which founded startups
the problem is not only is there a lot of nonsense out their there are multiple different conflicting engineering cultures out their each insisting only their way is the right way and convincingly pursuing people why the other way is supposedly terrible. Not few of them also pushing a rather toxic culture or a live style which only work for a singles with workoholic like traits or people which at some point in their live had the luck to get rather wealthy and no assume any software enginer in the world is in their position. It's just shit.
