Interesting experience. For anyone considering switching jobs because they were in your situation, here is my survival guide of doing jack shit as a software developer: - set medium/low expectation. To that effect don't work more than 5-6 hours out of your 6-7 hours day. This way you'll always have capacity to work more dor a rush and may be priced for that; conversely if you're always working at fill capacity and for some reason you can't deliver be you'll be criticized for it and your previous hard work will go unnoticed. Of course deliver acceptable output, preferably just above the bare minimum to keep the job. - learn to shift blame. The CI is slow, code is crap, etc. Sugar-coat it with ideas for improvements. Those will realistically never happen but you'll pass as a bit more positive while the blame can be shift to the people making the decision not to improve things. - know the laws applicable to you, and to businesses. Whoever has knowledge has an edge, and the HR department sure know a lot. Check primary and secondary sources. It's not because someone or the company say something that it's true, and some threat are simply inapplicables and bet on worker's lack of knowledge.
