Well, developers are the kind of people that love to be contrarian, so it shouldn't be that surprising. Half the fun (in my mind) is doing something no one else

Well, developers are the kind of people that love to be contrarian, so it shouldn't be that surprising. Half the fun (in my mind) is doing something no one else is doing. Being novel. It's probably unwise in a business sense, but if everyone was being wise all the time, there wouldn't be much fun in software development.
- whateveracct 7y agoYou're not obligated to be a brutal capitalist as an engineer. It's okay to make decisions that are suboptimal (but still passable) for your employer but highly aligned with your own career interests. If you always optimize for whichever company is employing you currently, you're doing yourself a disservice and essentially "leaving money on the table" :)
