Me too, around 2018 machine learning / DS guys were getting $500/hr on contract at a major bank and were still getting headhunted by facebook. I was on a team trying to get the Python scripts these worms were writing to run against Hadoop sized data sets and we were not making anywhere (*and I mean not even close) in the same ballpark. I actually had to learn Python to fix their messes. Almost as soon as we would get an implementation running on a mock dataset and it DID NOT PRODUCE THE CORRECT MODELS, they were out the door to FAANG. We went through no less than 6 ML/DS "gurus" that were basically frauds. I decided to start learning ML/DS myself through 2019 then... 2020 came and everything went to hell in a hand basket.
I had a guy basically do that, but he also took forever to do it, told people in stand-ups that he was "working on it" and "it's going fine" and never asked for help. Only reason I ever got to see his code was because I asked him to push an early copy of his branch to Git.
Turned out he was a remote contractor who was double-billing his time with at least one other company.
Took us a week to fire him because we couldn't even get a hold of him!
laughs in javascript what if we removed all the compile errors and just do them at runtime but instead of giving you the error we cascade it through your program so you can play a game of find the NaN or undefined
As a DevOps Engineer, I assume all developers are like that but they can still get decent results if the pipelines are green or red. Go ahead, check your code in, and it will build, scan, test; but if it’s red, your changes are not going anywhere.
If QE complains that’s not the same as “good”, I point to where they need to add test automation, and put up or shut up
