The amount of things I’m expected to be able to accomplish constantly increases. I get it, I’m becoming more senior, but at the same time, it’s kind of crazy that a single person can just be told to do the kind of things I’m told to do with the kind of deadlines I have. I can think of some takes I do by myself with code where a decade or two ago I’d be talking about hiring dozens of employees or contractors across the globe to physically enter a building and make a global business information system possible. I think this is related to the productivity wage gap. I’m being paid lower than I was in 2018 adjusted for inflation and I’m far more capable, producing far more value for my employer. As my tools get more valuable my labor gets proportionally less valuable. (A certain historical figure predicted this end state of capitalism). Here’s another take: I don’t give a fuck about the code quality at my company. I’m not paid extra to write good code. My bonus is based on basically nothing I can influence. If the whole company goes out of business on Monday I’ll enjoy my long weekend.
