(Using the 'breaking' part to highlight some good news for a change!)
Food for thought: Automattic hired SO many software engineers who would be rejected by 95% of hiring managers based on their resume based on location and unkown companies they worked beforehand.
And these people turned out to be excellent hires, many becoming e.g. tech leads.
At 1am on Friday I was practising @RoyalAlbertHall & someone shouted up ‘play The Toccata’. I did, & offered to show them the organ. Well, turns out they were @si_bonobo’s band. 12 hrs later they had written me an organ part & I helped them close their show…! Best. Night. Ever.
Most software in production out there is complex. Some are spaghetti code nightmares, but I believe most are somewhat decently built. Sometimes developers joining a project confuse a "complex" codebase with a "spaghetti" codebase, and they feel like throwing it away.
