Some options:
* Move to a frontend job that is less chaotic. RoR jobs are relatively easy to find and some codebases are quite tidy. Plus, the framework moves slowly and there is little JS.
* Move to a backend job that uses an interesting technology, like Erlang, OCaml or Haskell. These technologies will provide some stimulation due to elegance and novelty.
* Pivot to a job in a different domain. Consider academic, industrial and national laboratories where you can leverage your coding experience.

And in the functional world, there are people with awful egos due to the connection with academia. In many areas of academia, engineering best practices and tooling are mostly irrelevant.

- actsasbuffoon 2y agoYeah, this was certainly true about 5 years ago. The market has thinned a lot over the last few years.
