I'd do it, but not for the money they are offering unless they'd fully pay for hotel and food.
- bravetraveler 3y agoEh, I enjoy the maintenance a bit - but perhaps it's because I picture it slightly larger. Not just updating packages and stuff, but tuning for performance/resilience or outright redesigning systems. This could eventually be considered migration work, too I suppose - but I really appreciate 'roots' in what I work on. The migration work I alluded to was 'take us from boring thing X to boring thing Y'. I don't like lacking power by having prescribed solutions; it's less administrative - more grunt.
