You’re write. I’m a tech lead in an ‘enterprise’ team, and the fight against spaghetti is so real.

I feel a lot of enterprise devs are older, and more set in their ways. It’a not just teaching them new technology any more - I have to fundamentally shift their approach.

All the while being 20 years younger and less ‘experienced’ than them.

It’s slow progress. Every time I relax control within a few hours I have to bring it back. One guy today tried to set up a deployment of a prepackaged service that involved building the service (in debug configuration), then running that. I had to explain that deployments out of /bin/Debug is a bit of a red flag. I’m not sure how you can miss that myself, but here we are.



That has nothing to do with being older. That guy was similarly reckless when they were 20 years younger.


I have to explain to "senior" developers why a deployment process involving keeping the source code on the prod server and building it with Visual Studio on the prod server is not a great idea.


*right (unless wordplay was intentional)


You mean as opposed to Release? Or something else?
