  • And that’s actually part of the problem: your title doesn’t mean anything.

    Not that you’re not leading, but what “lead” or “senior” actually means is completely arbitrary.

    In one project I’m lead in, I wrote maybe 5 lines of actual code, because I was in meetings, wrote documentation, did release management (well, I wrote pipelines here, but that’s like 200 lines), etc. The actual leg work was done by 4 or five other guys.

    But in another project, I’m lead of myself and another bloke, of course I’m writing code in that one.

    So it’s completely possible to have a bunch of guys with the “developer” tag on their title, but they’re not doing much developing.










  • I’m still convinced Electron only exists because there’s a huge surplus of mediocre web devs.

    Electron solves hardly any problem that QT, GTK or all those other UI frameworks didn’t already solve 20 years ago. But for QT you need at least a few developers with passing knowledge of something other than js and css. And those guys are expensive.

    OR, it is a huge conspiracy by Micron et al to increase demand for memory modules.
