Even though at 50 I would rather get a daily anal probe with a cactus than ever work for BigTech (again), I can’t come up with a scenario where it makes more sense to be an independent app dev than just “grind leetcode and work for a FAANG (or equivalent)” (tm r/cscareerquestions).
I like money just appearing in my account every week and when I was working for BigTech public liquid stock appearing in my brokerage account every vesting period.
- baxtr 2y agoIf life for you is mainly accruing cash and stock, then yes, by all means do that.
- scarface_74 2y agoYes because I have this insatiable addiction to food and shelter and I need cash to exchange for goods and services to support those addictions. Why would I work harder for less money?
- tonyedgecombe 2y agoSo I can assume everybody who doesn't work at a FAANG is starving and homeless?
- scarface_74 2y agoFrom my original comment… > Even though at 50 I would rather get a daily anal probe with a cactus than ever work for BigTech (again) But I bet almost anyone can make more as an enterprise CRUD developer than trying to be an independent app developer.
- saguaro_tech 2y agoJust to clarify your current order of preferences: 1. Get a daily anal probe with a cactus 2. Work for BigTech 3. Be an independent app dev Interesting how taste can change over time.
