I’m sick and tired of the way software is nuit and how developers are almost always at the bottom of the food chain. We have to accept pressure from the whole org and deliver on things promises to others regardless of reality.
I would like to break the cycle and end my fellow developers’ misery by helping willing teams and orgs work better.
How could I do this? How is it called? I certainly don’t want to be another Agile(tm) peddler. But I also can’t go back to being a code monkey.
And before people here reply that I have to find better orgs to work at: while I believe they exist, they’re so rare that this isn’t possible for 99% of people. In my over 10 years in software, I have never interviewed with or worked at one of these elusive better orgs. I’m also not in the US which might be a factor. Anyway, I’d rather have a different solution to this problem than “work somewhere exceptionally hard to find”
- bladelessninja2 4y agoI'm surprised, I've never had problems with org pressure, it was easy for me: either we do agile and you trust our judgement or I quit, because I know that this project will fail and I'm not interested in contributing to projects that are doomed to fail. Do you think I was unemployed for long in the second case?
