I’ve worked on the same website for 20+ years. Recently we were informed that the site was being shutdown and we would be reassigned to other teams. On the one hand, as long as they are still paying my exceedingly well, do I really care what I am working on? On the other hand, it is a bit painful seeing 20+ years worth of work being deleted.
- SoftTalker 3y agoI've been doing this for over 30 years. Not only have I seen years of my work deleted, I've also seen large fractions of the rest of it never even used.
- anonzzzies 3y ago> I've also seen large fractions of the rest of it never even used These were some of my favourite as a young freelancer (long time ago): they'd pay me $90/hr to write stacks and stacks of code with our small parents-garage team and when we finished, we demoed to the client who were very happy. But instead of having to wait for bugs, fixes and addition, we just got a new assignment after learning 'great job, but this is no longer needed'. Now I find it painful, but back then we could just focus on 'new things' like that. It didn't happen often, but there were a few large ones that I remember well.
