If you work at a company where the software you write isn't what generates revenue, you're going to have a bad time.
There are plenty of companies where developers are the profit centre.
- ehnto 4y agoAgreed, it is unfortunate because there is some cool prolems to solve in places where software is the cost centre but it has never been worth it. In my experience, the irony is that places where software is a cost centre often run really inefficiently from a software developmemt point of view. So it's more costly and less funded, it can be difficult to pull even the simplest projects off in that environment. I am sure there are places that run well though, you just have to have the right people up the chain.
