Is there a German word for the feeling you get where you want the opportunity to apply a hard-won skill, but also kind of don't? I feel that reading this all-too-accurate comment.
Like many/most of us, I've been through this, but by virtue of luck and experience, haven't in a while. I think I've learned to spot the symptoms early enough that I avoid the companies/teams/projects that are on that path.
For those who think this is inevitable and unavoidable in a tech career, take heart in the fact that it's not!
- _heimdall 2y agoI can second this, it is avoidable. I have a pretty high threshold before pressure at work actually stresses me out, so I've stuck around for a while after seeing the warning signs before leaving a team on this path. Warning signs are always there in my experience, you just have to pay attention. The real challenge is paying attention as the problems start to ramp up, its easy to get distracted fighting fires and not see the bigger picture.
