That's what happens when the first thing you do is fire all the Site Reliability Engineers... Apparently he stack-ranked engineers based on most lines of code (SREs generally write less code and even often delete code) and fired the lower end of that scale.
Elegant, efficient code? Who needs that shit?
So he's left with a bunch of copy-paster ?
It's always those that are well appreciated in the corporate bullshit hamster wheel.
I hear that an intern accidentally committed their node_modules folder, and now they're a staff engineer responsible for the live video streaming service. What a career trajectory! 🚀
No, those actually finish code.
The ones who will write everything by hand.
Ah the famous nodevbymephobic coder. :)
While it's not LOC, you would be amazed at how many companies stack rank on stuff like number of PR's, how many revisions are needed to merge, size of changes, etc. I'm not talking about small companies either - FAANG companies, and not just one.
