As The Little Prince would say were he a coder: you are forever responsible for the code you write.
Every new system an organization takes on requires maintenance, training, etc. This takes time from the coders and is frequently not taken into account.
- MattGaiser 6y ago> you are forever responsible for the code you write. Developers stay at companies for 1-2 years, so it seems like you get frequent resets.
- war1025 6y agoThat is highly dependent on the company and I'd guess the industry. I've been at the same place going on 8 years. My father in law has been at the same place for 30.
- war1025 6y agoMy wife was reading our kids The Little Prince the other day when I was getting ready to leave for work. I really like that book. The movie they made for it is pretty good too.
- sethammons 6y agoAgreed. I’ve been developing at the same place for nine years. High growth company. You gain insight into writing maintainability that I don’t think is possible for folks that jump ship so often.
