Some good points here. But I also have to make some objections.
> You’ll need to work around incompetence
It’s amusing that the article never suggests you might be incompetent. No, no, it’s the “other person” whose incompetence needs to be well-documented.
> Rare work-life balance. In other professions, your work day ends at 18:00, and you forget about the job. Not here. You will most likely always be online and checking the code, even in the evening.
I’ve always tended to avoid this throughout my career, and my bosses and coworkers have always been made aware of that.
Wait. Would I be the incompetent the author is talking about?
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoI wonder why so many HNers think that only software people that work or think about work after 5:00? Many doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc do the same. There are many car mechanics that get off work only to work on their cars or other peoples cars talk a lot about what happened at the dealership or whatever. It’s really not that strange.
