Then I quit my job. As a quality senior you have the leverage to pick where and how you work. Otherwise, you may be thinking of just a tenured junior or someone who was given a title of "senior". This is why I said earlier "part of maturing into a senior dev is having the experience to know what makes you happy"...not just doing what someone tells you.
- mdpopescu 9y agoHeh. I actually enjoy maintaining old code, as long as that means I can improve it while adding new functionality. If it means "no, we can't change that method with a 200+ cyclomatic complexity because the NY office wrote it and they would be upset about it" then yeah, that would suck. (Real story in a recent contract with a bank.)
