In an ideal world, no one would ever have to work under pressure, and while some people in this industry don't, many (I would bet a majority) of people do or have in the past. This seems especially true for startups trying to break into a market with competition.
Either you have been lucky with the places you've worked at, have sifted through tens of shops to find a good one, or have very little experience in the industry. I really do hope that none of
my assumptions are true and that one day I can find a functional, low-pressure team to work with.
- fzeroracer 4y agoThis goes back to what I said earlier: If the work environment is dysfunctional, then you should either work towards fixing it (especially if you're a senior engineer) or work towards finding a better job. Software engineers are one of the few career paths afforded the ability to do so and it would be better for us as a whole if there was less normalization of awful development practices under the guise of 'everyone else has experienced this or does this'. This goes doubly true for startups in my opinion because rushing things like this and having a shaky foundation just adds another point of failure to your organization. Remember for every startup that succeeds, multitudes of others fall flat on their face due to a build up of problems.
