Is determined. Has 20 years of experience.

An average programmer is a few years out of college and is lazy.

Remember that you are still creating software - you are just doing it through others.

Managers should not be creating software. Directly or indirectly (unless you're a product manager or in a position where you have to take PM responsibilities). I've had too many managers try to insert themselves in design decisions, micromanaging and what not. Managers should be managing people. Making people happier and more productive and communicating what your people can and cannot do with the higher ups. Even deadlines and milestones, etc should be PM responsibilities, not dev managers.

If you're using Nvidia graphics cards, they do not support proprietary nvidia drivers btw.

You're conflating two things. Is it that they don't support the features or is it that they're proprietary?

If you need a principal engineer to tell you to write unit/integration tests, that speaks volumes about the quality of engineering below him.

Don't compare a company to a tech.

As an example of a tech, if someone asked me would you want self driving cars to succeed if you could not profit off of them, I would say that's a resounding success. A lot of people are excited about this tech because of the improvement in their daily lives, not because of a profit motive. Compare that to crypto

How can you say they're no worse nor better? That's a loaded statement without qualification. It is entirely possible (if not highly likely) that one approach is better (for all or most use cases)

Yeah. Seen this happen too. That usually points to a lack of (good) senior leadership in the dev team (senior developers not product/managers).

It's only after you've developed a deep understanding that any efforts at integration would be successful. If you just like orchestrating, that's fine but I've met too many managers/product managers who think up lofty ideas on how to integrate various pieces without a deeper understanding of the underlying technology.

? A lot of reddit and HN apps don't display the articles in app. Some of them open browser pages. I don't see how your "All ... apps" is quantified.
