I am not saying it doesn’t exist, just that I have been around the block for quite a while but even then didn’t personally work in a place like this.

Places with average developers are more than equipped to do tasks that HN claims to be impossible to anyone but Carmack or Torvalds.

And average doesn’t mean rock bottom!

I don’t understand why those conversations only focus on the extremes. We should stop being so prescriptive of other people’s work.
