On: “Normal” engineers are the key to great teams

> Comforting yet false assertions. Great engineers tire of working with “normal” engineers, they want to work with others who they respect

What a great environment to train juniors. Does not sound toxic at all.

There are great and normal juniors as well.

Junior does not mean incompetent, it means unexperienced.

Wanting to work with ambitious people that match your level is not toxic.

No, what's toxic is building an environment like 99% of companies where juniors are told that everybody is the same and there's no point doing anything other than copy pasting whatever dogshit the "senior" next to them is typing into VSCode.
