Please keep in mind that asking these questions can put one in peril. There are political consequences to trying to create change in organizations that are this far behind -- no source control? Bwah? -- that imply that the managers are not doing a very good job.
- ronbeltran 15y agoThanks God my officemates don't read HN news.
- drewcrawford 15y agoThis is a public service announcement. Get a new job. The best, brightest, smartest developer I ever knew was working at a company with a score of ZERO. Talk about wasted talent. Now he works for me and we do awesome stuff. There are dozens of companies in any significant metropolitan area who take software development seriously that are begging for competent developers. It doesn't have to be Google, there are well-run boring companies that pay well everywhere. You're (demonstrably) one of the only developers with sense where you are, don't stay there. Please. You can do better.
- shaggyfrog 15y agoYes, getting a new job would be better. So is that always possible? Especially in this economy?
- zacharycohn 15y agoAre you a developer? If so, there are many cities (Seattle, SF, NYC to an extent) that are hiring any developer they can get their hands on.
