yes one of the biggest problems in software development is that most developers are bad at their jobs.

the solution, however, would be to hire a small number of really good developers and have code reviews run through them - hopefully teaching the more average developers how to code better in the process.

It’s so simple. You just need to devise the world’s first 100% predictive interview process

I wish it were easy. The most important things to do are usually pretty hard, or they'd be done already.
