Sorry, but I can’t agree.

Yes, they are capable of making great software, but it’s exactly what gp said... they don’t think. I’ve seen so much code which looks nice from the outside, abd is all structured. But if you start reading, I’m riddled wtfs and questions about why things weren’t done in a more simple concise and stable way.

That's my experience too.

Recently had to deal with some Slack bot written in js at work, and my coworkers had to deal with me ranting about that crap for a whole afternoon.

The way I put it was, this code was written in the most complicated way possible, for no apparent reason.
