I wish this was true. I'm always finding myself moving around in an organization and projects trying to find new challenges rather than building another standard API. Certainly every project has it's critical pieces where any extra attention can pay off but not so many.
- MarkLowenstein 5y agoWhat type of company do you work for? It may be different in software/services vs. commerce companies.
- karmakaze 5y agoI actually work at a software/services company for commerce. Don't get me wrong, this is a big space and there are many challenges but they often tend to be more vertical than technical. Lately I've been making a monolithic app behave less so with decoupled async notifications. Also spend some time prototyping things for future adoption for if/when that's feasible. I'd like to be using something functional like F# but for some reason not being in adtech/fintech drastically lowers tech appetite of companies.
