Third week into a role. Managers too busy to meet. One reports that we have no product owner, no audience, and no requirements. The other demands a confident promise to deliver the app by Q3.
I recommend trimming the "MVP" to focus on just one, concrete user need, so that we have a prototype to deliver.
Manager: No, just stub 99% of the REST contract and get it to prod.
With each new software role, I feel I am somehow moving backwards compared to the relatively well positioned earlier roles.
- phendrenad2 4y agoI feel this too. At an earlier role we had a well-architected PHP codebase that we were throwing away and replacing with graphql, scala, and angular. I was a junior dev so they threw me into fixing the "unimportant" legacy PHP system (which just so happened to be the thing making money for the company) instead of the shiny new rewrite. Never been happier in my life.
