Made a thing. It was genuinely work.
ALT American Chopper arguing meme. Panel 1: Man with moustache pointing 'The strategy you wrote, its all vision, with no actions' Panel 2: Frustrated man in hat 'It’s a strategy, not an operating model, it’s meant to be a ‘north star’ Panel 3: Man with moustache shouting 'That’s just a goal, the strategy is the plan to achieve the goal' Panel 4: Man with hat throwing chair 'People setting strategy shouldn’t be telling people how to do their jobs' Panel 5: Man with moustache shouting 'If a strategy doesn’t change how people do their jobs, it's not a strategy, just meaningless words in a deck.' Panel 6: Man with hat storms out.

A question we've been hearing a lot recently is "How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting food and agriculture?" The answer is complicated. But this thread provides a small snapshot of what's going on.

Having trouble with code quality? Write a lot of tests. And I mean a *lot*. Test every file in isolation. Mock as many imports as possible.
When you're done, your code will still be bad, but now your tests will make sure it's impossible to improve anything in any meaningful way.

This is seems more like a management problem than a senior engineer problem. Mentoring takes a lot of time and resources and has to be developed like any other skill. If management doesn't support mentoring, then it's not going to happen.
