Do you think you, or anyone, have the capacity to understand changes you are making to a system developed over decades, that manages trillions and affects real lives, with only a few days worth of experience with the system?
- gre 2y agoYou don't think they grabbed one or two of the existing coders that know the system? (I have no idea)
- Gud 2y agoNo, I don't think so. I think it's the dumbest, high confidence kids(with big egos) in the room who agree to do shit like this.
- crooked-v 2y agoThe article explicitly mentions how the system's normal maintainers are in a panic because this kid 'Fred' they have no info about (not even a last name) has unlimited access to change things.
- Mustachio 2y agoPR submitted, comments by concerned coders with years experience in the system overruled and force merged with message "wcgw".
- nikisweeting 2y agoI never made that claim, I only say the raw age is irrelevant and distracts from the real headline. Experience with those specific systems is a separate category. e.g. a 25 year old with 8 years of finance systems programming might be more qualified than a 50 year old with 3 years in that domain, it all depends on their background. The more important headline is that it's an illegal coup.
