Obviously Corey& #39;s first obligation is to himself and his business. I agree with that! And I don& #39;t think there& #39;s *anything* wrong with it. That& #39;s how it& #39;s supposed to be. https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1390811334338498561">https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig...
I don& #39;t think he or @mike_julian or any other business owner have any obligation whatsoever to train people, hire junior engineers/economists, or "give back" in any way that doesn& #39;t further their business.
But at the same time it& #39;s always interesting to see where people come down on the "we only interview/hire people with 7+ years experience" discussion given where their incentives lie.
Again, I don& #39;t hold it against Corey that he isn& #39;t putting his time, money, sweat, and tears on the line to train people. He honestly does more for the community than most.
But I always hear people in this industry talking about how we need to train and develop more young/junior/pivoting people. And yet it& #39;s always someone else& #39;s duty.
Again, if anybody this sounds like it& #39;s an attack on @DuckbillGroup, it& #39;s not. It& #39;s mostly just frustration that tradeoffs exist.
Like this. How could I possibly try and tell Mike, who is building a business and providing jobs and things I can& #39;t imagine that he has an obligation to hamstring himself by not hiring the best? https://twitter.com/mike_julian/status/1390814100494508038">https://twitter.com/mike_juli...
But at the same time, what company is? Sure, some companies may benefit from hiring more junior people, and we should encourage that. But what company *doesn& #39;t* want to be more capable than the competition and have the best, most experienced employees?
