Since 6 months, I have my dream job as per my personal belief value system: making software for the public health industry in my state. I loved the idea (and still do) of being a public servant making best in class software that benefit society through better healthcare services but the reality of the job is vastly different to what I imagined. The reality is the way we build software is broken beyond repair. As an example, my current project which run in the tenth of millions of dollars out of tax money have 0 unit test because my boss and colleagues see automated test in general as a waste of time. All in all, the culture in here makes it very hard to improve anything as most people I work with have spent their entire professional life in a bubble where every problem is solve through shoehorning various products and framework made by oracle. Ultimately as much as I would love to better use tax money to provide better healthcare services for my state, I'm not in a position to shift the culture.
