The corners that are cut are often around automated testing, security, best practices. And it adds up, so if nothing is done right then it’s faster to keep doing it wrong than rearchitect or abstract everything so you can have a clean implementation.
Honestly, I haven’t been working that long (about a decade) but this general attitude from PHBs calling the shots in software makes me count the months until I can retire early and never write code for money again. It’s just soul sucking to fight everyone on this and then fight again when overtime is needed to add more bandaids to the resulting abomination because the date won’t be met.
- fragmede 4y agoI don't know your situation, but I'd encourage you to find one that isn't "soul sucking" that you can actually live with. Life's too short to spend it in a job you hate, especially if you have an in demand skillset.
- pmarreck 4y agoYeah, I'd advise looking for work elsewhere, it's not supposed to be like that and I guarantee you that you could find something better
- jeltz 4y agoMany jobs are like that but far from all. I recommend looking for a new job where the PHBs are not calling the shots.
