omg, yes and yes! Large companies should assume the fact that they're large and maintenance engineers are my heroes.
These folks are in the hardest spot in large orgs because they perform hidden feats of heroics all the time, yet they're typically only noticed when things go wrong.
- draw_down 8y agoThat’s exactly why it’s a raw deal and one should (imo) attempt to stay on the more innovative side of that fence. I like maintenance and I’m very good at it but it’s a mug’s game. People who make features get recognition and rewards. Maintainers get to fix their sloppy mistakes and receive the pages when their shit breaks in the middle of the night. Not fair but that’s how it is. How people are treated reveals how they are valued.
