They created a mess in 2020 and hopped on over to a job at FAANG and now a fresh batch of Waterloo graduates want to do the same - maintaining somebody else's turds is beneath a Waterloo graduate on his way to becoming a manager who never touches code ever again :)

So it goes.

Yeah. No way we’re getting the full story. It probably goes something like this… we lost native engineers when we switched to React then we lost the engineers that were supporting react recently and won’t be replacing them because stock market. Therefore we’ll switch back to native and go with under skilled engineers using llms. This will work until we have a code base model collapse
