Unaccounted Work in Software Development
- eighthjouster 6y agoOne of the many reasons I decided to quit my "comfy" dev job at a major corporation. Comfy in the sense that I knew the paycheck would come at the end of every month. But at what cost? I had to spend extra 3-4 hours per day in order to deliver in time; and sometimes it was not enough for management (good people overall, but way too embedded in this culture of unaccounted time.) It really wore on me. I had almost no time or energy for my personal lives, let alone my side projects. I know not everyone has the luxury to quit their jobs. But if it's eating you away, then switch jobs as soon as you can. P.S.: I'm not a fan of articles published via tweets.
