I think you're right, but I also think it's a shame. Large companies produce most of the things making up our modern world. I'd rather these things be built with passion than as a side-effect of people trying to make money.
- mindcrime 10y agoAgreed. I wish things were different, but this is my cynical / pragmatic approach to things, gained over many years working in Corporate America. And to be fair, I'm sure there are exceptions where you can work for a big company and find that kind of fulfillment. But I wouldn't go in expecting it.
- taway_1212 10y agoI think it's a pure fantasy that most people can be passionate about their jobs.
- rajeshmr 10y agoTrue, passion may not be everything - there are aspects of work which are the boring and mundane. But mastery is another goal. In our tech industry, before you hit mastery the next big thing catches on..and before you know it everyone is running after it. I really like the approach of some companies which evaluate their tech stack and only transition to other technologies in a phased manner.
