Hire me remote.
Seriously though, how much of a mess is the product from a technical viewpoint?
I pretty demotivated some days (not lead, but senior enough), because our product is a big mess of technical debt that only our lead understands (he built it all). I want to make it nice, but he wants to add more features.
Other days I just accept its a big pile of shit and try to get on with what needs done.
It can be pretty demotivating when you see just a pile of unmaintainable tech debt in front of you. Could that be the problem? Is he allowed to refactor it and make it better? Is he capable of that? (Assuming a he).
- pk2506 7y agoWhat is your tech stack? The lead engineer was the one who build 80% of the system. So they are very well aware of the technical debt. We actively encourage the developers to refactor/document the codebase if they see fit.
- collyw 7y agoOk, well he has himself to blame if it's a mess. I am Python / Django Relational mainly (a bit of everything but I like old school well understood stuff). If by chance its built on that then get in touch. I would love to be given the chance to refactor stuff properly. Most manager talk about it but rarely that it actually gets done.
