Stay motivated by your love of writing software! It's a blast! Tests and tickets! Organizing the code! Fun! All you need is a passion for sitting for hours at a time every day at a computer and writing code! Weee!
It's all about passion for code! And hit your deadlines!
That last part is very important.
- deathanatos 10y agoYour post is in the uncanny valley of Poe's law. > And hit your deadlines! In past jobs, my deadlines were impossible to hit, mostly b/c they were set by my pointy haired manager. The estimates given to product/project/program managers were met with looks of "that's nice but I already told the higher-ups a different, sooner figure". > Organizing the code! This is literally the last thing to be prioritized. Pay down technical debt?
- debt 10y agoI was being mostly sarcastic as that is the actual "life" of a software developer so it's not shocking to me why many wouldn't be intrinsically motivated.
- codr4life 10y agoNo one has any passion for deadlines, slavery is getting old fast. Passion, that's it. Write code that makes your heart pound, and share it openly. Leave the suits to their own misery.
