I don't know if this feels like I'm diminishing your accomplishments, but it's nice to hear your advancement out of CRUD development in your 40s. I'm mid 30s now and have always struggled to get out of this web development rut and jobs that pay $100k despite having 8+ years experience (which is admittedly lackluster) and multiple senior titles.
- scarface_74 3y agoNo not insulted at all. I am very transparent about my career here and on Reddit (same username) about my career. I’ve also talked about how I transitioned. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37446115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37446115 It was because of a manager who was “irrationally benevolent” who I’m still friends with now.
- 93po 3y agoThanks for link - it sounds like you had some good non-CRUD experience to be able to discuss that intelligently with him. Honestly I wish I could find a place to work where I felt like I was friends with people there. I've never had a coworker that was a friend :( But I also work at pretty small companies and they've tended to not have great culture. I'd take a $100k coding job there
- scarface_74 3y agoThat startup I spoke about in the link had 60 people who officially were employed by the company. I was the CTOs 2nd technical hire. Most of the technical work had been done by an outside firm.
