Accidentally appropriate last name. No reason to pick on people but from a student hire to a lead in five years is... fast.Back in 2018 this student hire was a bit of a meme...
He's now a Lead Gameplay Programmer.

Yeah I usually avoid the 'name-shame' (or appearance shaming) when looking at this stuff. But in fairness this guy has put himself on camera regularly, and they really do feel like a classic example of inexperience being elevated. Plus he has an amusing name
(For avoidance of doubt, for any random interlopers, this guy falls fairly neatly into these broader trends...)

I wonder if the sheer number of builds they're hosting is behind some of the broader instability right now?
EPTU is just crash central...
(And yes the CTD Train did arrive at its destination )
So those that can are playing Pyro instead, which is a right martyr to lag spikes...
(Graph view...)
(Not to mention all the usual glitchery like falling through the ground, getting out of bed the wrong side, etc etc)
While the guys in the actual PU complain that performance is woeful whenever Pyro is being hosted. Evidenced by even the most cautious pilots still being de-synched to death...
And the particularly fabulous NPCs...
And the random stuff like ships getting completely streamed out seemingly, and so on...
So?

Maybe he's just that good. Might be the code Jesus CIG have been waiting for. The question is, is he as good as Chris Roberts at inventing new tech?
He may be technically good, but lead positions require, first and foremost, experience, personal growth and maturity. Some people never get there, and definitely not in five years.
He joined in Nov 2017, so it was 6 years all told. But yeah, it's this broader picture it paints: Leads who've never shipped a game all stacking up within CIG. Nurtured within a world where just keeping the wheel spinning in a live environment is accolade enough...
I always think this whole 'green dev' theme is most telling for senior engineers too. It's common to hear tales of experienced engineers being gold dust precisely because they know how to structure code to avoid pitfalls and conflicts downstream as everything scales up. (Having run into various self-inflicted walls themselves, and dealt with the capricious scope switches of stakeholders, in prior projects etc).
As much as I'm not sure any dev could future-proof the code against Roberts-tier revisions, I can't imagine these student promotions are gonna fare any better...
This is the most important thing. Lead level is:
"OK, given that we cannot hire anymore and that some requirements in this and this area are vague, let's focus on delivering these particular API endpoints. They will be flexible enough to cover multiple scenarios while not being hard to build and maintain. We can do it in a monolith first and see if there is any value in breaking it apart in a year or so."
Hi Veantur. I know spamming your vids is busy work, but are you going to actually discuss them at any point?
Watch as Veantur shoots at a jerky t-posing magic man who levitates out of a building then appears to moonwalk before gracefully folding into a heap, ready for immersive looting to begin.
Can you fly ships with a non-working glove box in Tarkov? I think not!
And here I thought with maturity comes wisdom...

From Mike’s Discord:
Can’t see if this has been like this for a while or not. But it would seem that CIG has closed off most job openings except engineering.
I was actually surprised that after FDEV consultation process announcement CIG had not immediately posted in Twitter to welcome applications from FDEV personnel as they have done in the past in other similar cases

Do you actually notice how broken this game is? How clumsy the interface works? The lag when you loot? It looks terrible.
