I couldn't agree more with this post.
- Nope, I don't want spend my week doing 1:1 with a team.
- 40 years old and I was never so sharp as developer as now. Focused. Precise. Fearless.
- Being the most senior developer in my team, doesn't put me in any special position other than I deliver a lot of good code, I do a lot of devops tasks, i review a lot of PR and people hear me.
- I can scale my work through my peers.
- I trust and respect the managers and architects, because I understand how hard their job is.
- They trust and respect me because they know that I could do their work (and they mine) and the roles are not ranks, but choices.
I don't fear for my job. I know that in the worst case scenario, even earning 50% of my salary would be more than the average of the population and I would still have fun with that. I can work in a niche market like Java.. or hell even Cobol :)
- RockingGoodNite 4y agoI could earn probably double, maybe even triple my salary and then I read your comment and realized it's true. If my salary now were halved, it'd still be more than the average US income earner. I Googled "US population average salary" and they have a nice graph. As a side note, get ready for the pitch forks, it started going up as we approached the then potential Trump era in 2016.
- pelasaco 4y agoYup, I could earn the double too, if i wanted to go back to office, be manager, or simply moving to Switzerland.. but as it is, is fine. We can be idealist and say: I work here because I like it, because I like the stack, because i like the product, etc. btw in Germany, people are already sharping their pitch forks too..
