There’s a lot of work that goes into a code base and an architecture to make other devs (and yourself later) naturally go down a path of least resistance by default.
Most code bases don’t have that work put into them, but those that do are great to work on.
If these graduates can become really productive overnight that means you’ve done a great job more than they have become geniuses. -

👍wise words, I agree with you because, after the meeting I realized the CEO was focusing on a way forward and I was looking at the impossibilities, which is of no benefit because we can't just sit and do nothing expecting something to happen.. -

I should have thought of this, I never saw it this way. Thanks 😊
CEO wants some Genie magic!!!!
I work at a start-up were we have interns from the university go through trainings and mentorship before joing our team. Budget is very tight and spending is unthinkable.
Took me a lot of pains and sleepless night, reading of tech books and lot of strength to be were I am and I still do it because I want more but recently I got into intense coversation with CEO and he wants me to do some genie magic, he is like.....
CEO: we need more hands to do client work and build our products base , why is it difficult for New developers to start working on our code base?
ME: those guys are not developers, there is a big margin between being a developer and a university graduate in the country.
I was wondering after the whole stuff , if those guys can just grab this thing and become genius overnight, well if that happens then I am screwed, it will imply I am an asshole who spent time at simple things but we know this things can be uneasy to wrap your head around especially when the concept or language is new to you, I was pissed up at the meeting and gave some anoying unreasonable options which tells I was angry, at the end that understood my point and we got a way forward and reasonable
