I realize that my comment doesn’t scale and only works for a minority of people but… Just try really hard to not work for shortsighted people or bad companies.

I realize that my comment doesn’t scale and only works for a minority of people but… Just try really hard to not work for shortsighted people or bad companies. There are tons of great workplaces out there that will treat you like a king and pay you very well. Keep looking, these “almost too good to be true” companies exist. Vote with your feet at every opportunity.

Paying attention to tooling helps. Python shops are hit and miss, but golang and c# centered outfits have been better in my experience.

  FWIW, my experience has been that companies using less popular languages with a good reputation (Haskell, Clojure, lisp, OCaml...) are really, really awesome places to work and learn.

    Certainly something I imagine to be true, I just haven't been fortunate enough to get deeper in that direction. My first contact with programming logic was The Little Schemer though, and I'm incredibly glad for that.
