Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Starting things off with a fun post I found on Bluesky:
Where the fuck has that guy been for 20 years? I've seen that happen many times with junior programmers during my 20 years of experience.
also from a number of devs who went borderline malicious compliance in "adopting tdd/testing" but didn't really grok the assignment
At a recent job, I definitely saw malicious compliance/incompetence when it came to writing tests. My team and I would work hard to retrofit tests into older functionality and adjacent teams if they bothered to write tests would avoid testing anything of consequence.
