This is trivially incorrect outside of SV.
There are plenty of slow moving projects that focus on the stability of the codebase if you work for a business that isn't a "tech company" and work on services instead of products.
- thin_carapace 5mo agoindeed sweeping industry-wide conclusions are often drawn upon technology. however these generally apply to web/apps only. for example, in this thread we have someone extolling the virtues of not reviewing code. this is probably correct in the context of web/apps, but doesn't hold true otherwise. similarly the linked article talks about the frustration of being forced to merge known bad code - acceptable behaviour when the product is pictures on a screen, otherwise i have not observed this behaviour to be systemic
- sublinear 5mo agoThat's also just as untrue. Why wouldn't most B2B services outside of SV be web-based? There's a much bigger and broader economic world out there than HN usually discusses these past few years. We used to hear more about it before LLMs flooded the front page.
- thin_carapace 4mo agomy point was a lateral move from yours, I didn't intend to associate business outside of SV with non web based business
- bluefirebrand 5mo agoI wish it was easier to find this sort of business and work my way into one I'm so tired of startups.
