Outsourcing Partners Coding Skills Facade

When I joined the company as CTO, we already had several engineers from outsourcing companies. I couldn’t help but wonder about their performances and coding skills. One thing that stood out was the frontend teams’ subpar code quality. It was like stumbling upon a virtual playground of messy, confusing code.

Driven by curiosity, I decided to dig into the code history, expecting to uncover a treasure trove of impressive projects and technical wizardry. However, what I discovered left me dumbfounded. It turned out that their claims of prior experience were nothing more than a façade.

To my amusement (and disbelief), it seemed that they had embarked on a peculiar journey of self-taught coding. They had shamelessly cloned an online tutorial repos and spent months masquerading as seasoned developers, all while barely scratching the surface of genuine expertise.

It was like watching a magician perform a trick gone wrong, where pulling a rabbit out of a hat turned into an awkward encounter with a rubber chicken. Our codebase had unwittingly become a living testament to their adventures in code mimicry.

Amidst the laughter and facepalms, it became evident that our frontend development was in dire need of a serious intervention. We had learned a valuable lesson about the importance of thoroughly vetting the skills and experience of outsourcing partners. After all, there are no shortcuts to becoming a true coding virtuoso. So, armed with the knowledge of our code’s comical origins, we set out to realign our frontend development efforts and ensure that genuine expertise would be the driving force behind our success.

Remember, in the world of coding, it’s crucial to separate the wizards from the illusionists. And as we continue our journey, we strive to create a codebase that stands as a testament to true mastery and genuine skill.
