all this so people like us can do a job that wasn't that hard to begin with and was actually very comfortable all things considered, just a tiny bit easier in a way that isn't even measurable.
The more experience I get the harder the job seems tbh
Have you gotten to the part where you barely even get to write code anymore and just manage people's expectations full time yet?
Ah, management without managing. Its depressing and engaging at the same time. Depressing because palace intrigue is exhausting and fraught with peril. Engaging because I love explaining things to people and watching everything click into place for them (see the 1 of 10k xkcd comic).
