More like, The New Grad has Ideals. The Senior Dev had Deadlines.

Deadlines > Ideals.




Not if you read the article. It's pretty clean the New Grad didn't understand the details, the scope of the problem. He was theoretically correct at 50k ft. In reality, the details made his theoretical irrelevant.
