This industry has basically no standards for what a software engineer should know and chronically underinvests in training people, then people will jump on hackernews and bitch about people not knowing what they're doing like they haven't been saying university is worthless for the past 7 years.
I know very well what working with non-10x engineers is.
I also know ver well that performance is a management and HR issue, not an engineering issue.
Your job as a competent engineer is to make your team work. Your responsibility is to help out fellow team members whenever they need to be unblocked, and create a healthy, accepting, tolerant work environment. Your job is to be trustable, not make others hate their job, and not be the toxic asshole who makes everyone miserable and drives others away from your team. Because otherwise it is you who create high-stress work environments, and burn out people.
Complaining about "DEI" is a cope mechanism of incompetent individuals, who prefer to fabricate conspiracies to justify why someone else was chosen over them. It's a rehash of the old argument of complaining about low-pay immigrants for stealing jobs that would otherwise be rightfully theirs.
