Remote or offshore? I’ve worked with offshore teams (Infosys) that were vastly inferior to ChatGPT for writing code. We’re talking declares variables out of scope and checks that code in to source control. We’re talking forgets to remove comments in copy-pasted code that clearly refer to another F100 company. We’re talking takes 3 days to implement a one-liner code change.
Wow, I haven't run across this degree of workplace toxicity since the last time I was in an office. Mind telling us where you work so we can steer clear?
Being a full remote dev for a decade now, I obviously disagree.
There is of course a difference in where the remoteness comes from though: is it because the talent is that much in demand that it can just require it?
Or is it because your employer is so cheap, he rather offshores the job to some emerging market, irrespective of the slop[1] he gets?
[1] why EM code might be slop is another topic in itself but let’s just say: Good ppl from EMs don’t need to slave through slopshops
Yes I mistook remote for outsourced. Please understand it leniently, of course distance doesn’t make someone incompetent, but I’ve hired remote people and they clearly weren’t caring for my boat.
