I have passion to be a programmer. What companies don't understand is that it doesn't mean I enjoy my job. I stopped programming the things I am passionate about in my 20s because I had to eat. I wouldn't work on your dumb SaaS if I were financially independent.
- ghaff 4y agoThere are people who will work on the "dumb SaaS" or whatever project/company even though they don't need to financially because they couldn't work on something of similar scale/complexity/impact otherwise. But I suspect that if you gave a sufficiently large amount of money to most people, they'd be out the company's door in a moment even if they were in a senior position.
- kmoser 4y agoWhere does your passion for programming end, and your disdain for a job begin? Perhaps more important, does this potentially affect the quality of code you produce? In other words, if you discovered a mission-critical bug at 5 pm, would you be more likely to clock out and go home because you didn't like the project? (These are legitimate questions, not trying to be snarky.)
- nuancebydefault 4y agoI'm pretty sure you can change this situation. There are plenty of non-dumb companies in need for good software skills. Win win.
