Love to refactor, the more I watch the Mesa graphics drivers and the employees valve hired that work on it the more I believe it
Comment on Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal
fartsparkles@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago80 world-class engineers sounds like more than enough people. It’s not like Valve struggle to acquire talent and are thus forced to have teams and teams of juniors who are masters at building tech debt.
Valve will likely be hiring and retaining the kinds of engineers who love a good refactor and appreciate the time and space to do that rather than some product manager pressuring for the next shiny shit they wanted yesterday.
And Steam is their money printing machine that keeps them free to do whatever they want. It’s no surprise their team have stayed invested in continuing to build out the best gaming platform of all time.
80 talented, passionate, and healthily paid engineers > 800 junior, sleep deprived, and struggling to buy groceries “coders”.

without any job security
That’s USA. They don’t belive in job security.

What good is job security when we get an automatic pay cut every year? We get raises by switching jobs!

For serious. I wish they hired remote.
