I have a bunch of good developers, and my best guys have been around for years. I have newer people that have been on the project that have been around for the same amount of time as the problem people who get their work done and learn and get better consistently.

I’m really laid back and have given them a long time to learn our code base and how to contribute. When I have to pull multiple all nighters and the end of a long release cycle to fix or finish what they worked on it’s not worth it. I basically can only code at night because I spend my day in meetings, planning or next release or helping people with their stuff.

We work remote so either they are really dumb and won’t ever get it or they slack off all the time and wait till the last min to slap shit together and it isn’t right.

They are literally useless. even when something is explained to them they still mess it up, or need the same thing explained again the next time. Most of the commits they have was someone wasting their time to explain change by change how to do it. It would have been worth the time investment if they learned and were able to do things on their own. at this point but they aren’t and freeing up the people who have to consistently spend their time helping them will be a net positive in productivity.

I mean if I laid off %25 of my dev team we would see a boat in productivity. They leech time from one of my senior devs and don’t get any better. Def getting rid of 2/4 useless guys and giving 1 of them as much of an opportunity I’ve given any body and one is going to be next to go of he doesn’t shape up.

The biggest pain in the ass I’ve dealt with was using a directshow lib to implement flash on a new camera we were supporting for a desktop application. Working with a device graph and pins is beyond frustrating. We’re porting functionality to the Web and my dev working on the camera just needed to call capture image to trigger the flash.
