David publicly shared a tough experience to help other engineers avoid the same mistakes. The speaker argues that senior engineers perpetuate a hazing cycle, repeating the harsh onboarding they endured instead of offering real mentorship.

Chapters

That soft skill element is becoming more talked about, at least, which is really good. And the very fact that like David turned this around and it's like, I'm going to help other people so that they don't have to go through what I went through. And like, at least we're just gonna make these stories public and talk about it more, keep people in check. I think that's the best possible outcome for David's story instead of just like repeating it, right? Like the hazing phase that could happen for new engineers, or once you become a senior engineer, like that's how you learned how to become a senior engineer. So you just repeat those patterns. Like, that's not the way to do it.
