shout out to the person asking "Why are all the senior devs leaving?" on the work slack.
@xssfox yes why *are* they, that's a good question
@xssfox “You’re too 10x for them”
@abstractcode @xssfox you need more -10x engineers to balance them out

@jpm @xssfox That’s why we invented -100x languages like Ruby. Write Fast Maintain Slow.

I’m not bitter*

*actually very bitter

@abstractcode @xssfox I was there for the J2EE cargo cult
@jpm @xssfox I bounced off it a few times. Never used in a real system. That was an overengineeree clusterfuck but the Rails “YOLO FUCK YOU MAINTAINER” everything is a convention approach was not a sensible reaction.
@xssfox based but also gonna get written up by hr for being toxic lol
@xssfox did they get an answer
@joellabes not really no - I am very tempted to though
@xssfox Usually “because they can”
@xssfox wait why actually, i'm honestly clueless
