I’ve never met a dev who is pleased to be working on a shitty enterprise app.
In my experience working in enterprise software, we as the devs are far removed from any customer problems.
Those problems, when reported, go through some or all the layers of support engineers, product owners, and engineering managers and eventually get put on some every growing list of stuff to do.
The devs, being so far removed from customers, choose to focus on what they can see, which is usually just whatever feature was prioritized because big customer A was promised it would be ready by some date.
A single dev has no such barriers, as you were saying.
- ipqk 2y agoI've occasionally enjoyed working on an enterprise app, but it really depends on the team.
- dartos 2y agoWas it a shitty enterprise app ;)
- dmix 2y agoThe two devs I know who worked on enterprise software both ended up getting an MBA on company time to move into management ASAP so they dont have to write code in the awful system and they get paid way more. They ultimately get incentivized to contribute to the maze of "safe" processes, rule making busywork, and google docs writing for the next layer of management above them.
- dartos 2y agoThat’s a route too, sure. I couldn’t stomach working in management at a big org, personally
