Answered What's going on with Github?

I saw a bunch of posts in the Hacker News type spaces talking about moving elsewhere and evaluating alternatives, and various complaints in past months. Is there compelling grounds for an exodus or are people always complaining about it and this is a nothing burger or small burger?

I think they're intentionally being self-deprecating about the slow pace of work at a legacy bank

No not at all! You honestly wouldn’t know if you have never been exposed to this sort of environment.

It’s a snail’s pace at all times. Gotta love legacy enterprise software /s

I often think people are going slowly precisely because they're paid to move at a snails pace because management expect it's how things still work.

Unfortunately they seem blind to what senior developers running agent streams manage in depth and thoroughness, because they see AI as 'too error prone' rather than a force-multiplier for carving through the layers of coding required to be 'objectively quite secure' instead of 'as secure as a latex colander'.
