Count me in when you find it!
What I miss from technology is the group of people I used to collaborate with during my university years. We used to work on one thing and one thing only (UNIX Philosophy anyone?) and there was no way we would not master our craft back then or the subject we were given to work on.
Nowadays everything feels like work on bleeding edge and don't care about the quality of code nor the security of your own libraries.
I feel so awful with myself for choosing such a wrong direction.
- shrimp_emoji 3y agoIt sounds like you're in webdev. :p (I stay away from it for an ineffable mixture of feelings I get from it that are similar to yours even though my programming career is too new to have your memories or preconceptions.) How true is this for work with legacy codebases or embedded?
- stefanos82 3y agoFrom friends that work or have worked with both legacy codebases and embedded systems I can say this: those who worked or still work with embedded systems love it, because they are working on a single thing only. Those who work with the legacy codebase, it really depends of the type of legacy infrastructure. If it's a mad chaos, they prefer not to discuss it with me because they get anxious knowing they will work on that monstrosity the very next day and don't want to ruin their evening lol! Else if it's rather clean comparing its legacy status, they don't mind, but worry about their future; they don't want to stay outdated from a tech point of view, in case they need to look for a job.
