I really don't think that's the case. If you ask a CEO/CTO of a startup, he would fire the guy who did the latter instead of the middle approach. Longer term stability and development velocity are very important concerns in engineering management. This is pure inexperience - it wouldn't take too long to setup for an experienced engineer anyways, they probably did it 5 times last month and have a library of knowledge and templates. I can't call a guy who isn't capable of setting up a project this way swiftly without seeing it as a problem "senior".
- dambi0 2y agoWhat is the middle approach in this scenario? What specifically are the templates you refer to?
- throwaway48540 2y agoThe middle approach would be implementing the infrastructure in a basic way that is simplistic, but provides benefit and can be expanded.
- dambi0 2y agoHow does that relate to the scenario and what of the templates?
- zimpenfish 2y ago> The middle approach would be implementing the infrastructure That's great if you're implementing but it doesn't really work when you're coming in to an existing infrastructure (or codebase) that other people manage.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoI mean sure you would want to do that, but the above was very specific situation with existing feature set and an imminent novel problem.
