> That said, I am probably the only one of our team who visits HN. Or reads blogs about programming topics. For many people at my office, writing code is simply a job. You come in, do the job, and go home. There is no blogging about work. No answering surveys.
This sounds like a dream to me. Coding/programming is purely something I do for income. Do you have any advice for identifying a company where the culture is clock-in/clock-out, vs a culture that's more focused on the 'tech ninja' coding-fan kind of thing?
- heywire 5y agoIn my case, I’m working on a legacy product that started life in the 80’s. Aside from bug fixes, my work is almost completely funded by our customers requesting new features. I would look for a company who has a mature product that needs ongoing maintenance and the occasional new feature here or there. Oh, and as far away from the major tech hubs as possible :)
