Because it's easy and one of the few Rails shops in my modest northern city (England). Sometimes I roll in, don't code much and finish at 5 on the dot. It's partly due to laziness but more to do with weak moral and lack of autonomy. Moral where I work is appalling because the company I work for has been on a steady decline due to the clients being in their 70s/80s and almost being wiped out by a competitor a couple of decades ago. I'm surrounded by suppressed talent that wants to do a good job by exploiting a younger market in order to secure the company's future, but the management here won't listen. I know this job won't be here forever, but I'll have jumped ship before the cuts get made. I'm moving to Canada and hope to get into the startup scene or start something by myself (consultancy or startup). Until then, I'm resisting a move to London, which does have much better opportunities but the insane cost of living is not worth it.
