I switched jobs this year. The old job offered a very high part time salary because they just hit product market fit and my replacement wasn't able to keep up.

I switched jobs this year. The old job offered a very high part time salary because they just hit product market fit and my replacement wasn't able to keep up. The coding would have been near effortless as there was already another guy there. The code was efficient - my main goal was that it would take less effort to write new code than it would to write user stories. But there's a limit to how effective the work can be. Most of the remaining work was communication. A 15 min meeting disrupts work flow so much. How do you deal with two of them every day on vastly different contexts? What if they're on the same time? Someone brought up that 2x the work meant 5x savings, but 2x mental workload actually feels 5x heavier too. If I did take a second job, it would be something physical like farming or cooking.
