It’s not negative that nobody understands the spaghetti code, it’s advanced optimized code that mere mortals can’t comprehend, and marketing can sell that.
Don’t forget to bill by the hour to clients for bug fixes.
This guy speaks "solutions architect"
Oh man the worst guy I ever worked with got hired to be a solutions architect.
I was so happy he left. He'd always just say yes to whatever we were asked, even if it was literally impossible. Then he'd fuck off and leave me to deal with actually doing the project and would just throw some wrong advice at me and spend the rest of the day browsing the internet at his desk.
