> Write code that is difficult to test and verify, so that only the most determined and adventurous developers will dare to attempt it. And then you create job security for yourself! Nobody will dare going on your turf or I mean the beautiful junk you created. With all the complexity and smelling code in place only you is “smart enough” to know how everything function. Since people that love to code would be so horrified you will be the only leader and maybe at some point the only expert and junk man, I mean coder of this junk. Since now you are so integrated to a part of how the system works nobody can fire you. You can still advance in your career. Thanks to how much complexity and buzz word you added to the pile of junk you can demonstrate you know what you are talking about to no so good managers in tech. Words like micro services, kubernetes, Kafka, istio, Falco, Vault, (add the last flavor)… Even though all this have no real value for the current state of your projects. Barely doing X events/s and making complexity of the system goes from O(n) to O(n^2). But who cares? You have the most secured job and your career possibly is great.
