"When I used to do 3, I found myself filling the time by actually being involved in the business. Talking to managers, stakeholders, trying to actually improve auxiliary concerns. Is this just not how it's done anymore?"
Who actually listens to the devs? I've literally been yelled at for pointing out flaws pertaining to basic business acumen - "Just build it how I say!". Then we're rewriting it 3 weeks later because I was right.
- ThalesX 3y ago> Who actually listens to the devs? In my experience it depends on your political skills. I could always find someone in the company to help me come up with a plan of attack for a problem we were all facing. I always suggest to juniors to go to higher ups with an attitude of 'how can I help you solve the problems you currently have' instead of 'here are my problems'. YMMV.
- giantg2 3y agoIn my case politics weren't really a solution. You have an incompetent person who wants it done their way. The only person they'll listen to is the person above them. Go above them and you're branded a troublemaker. It's a dysfunctional organization.
