    They offered me an £8k raise and a bunch of empty promises about taking control of the project. But I didn't believe them so I turned it down.

    @rooter yes. It might have been a bad idea as I am a technical lead, and my new job is not technical lead, with a promise of promotion to tech lead after some months when I can recruit a new team for a Greenfield.

    About 4k less money of the promotion doesn't happen. But I can't stand that team anymore.

    It took me 1.5 years to introduce unit tests. Badly.

    @skylord

    Good dev: and dear Jimmy, why is there not a single comment in this god class to explain what it does a bit? I am having a hard time understanding.

    Shit dev: GoOd CoDe Is SeLf eXpLaNaToRy. You should work on getting better.

    Good dev: Fuck me...

    @PepeTheFrog And somehow they still manage to avoid conclusion that if their code isn't self explanatory it isn't good code therfore it needs comments/rewrite

    @PepeTheFrog Say this, it seems to work better and PMs like it also

    "I do understand your code, but unfortunately I don't have enough time to go through it line by line, so next time please annotate it or separate it nicely by concern or else all estimates are getting a nice 5-10% added to them so that I can decipher your code"

    @PepeTheFrog sorry for coming back so late but I agree a comment shouldn't be wanted. Leaving a comment is like giving up on making your code readable by design. Sometimes I give up because I just can't think of a solution, but even then it's rare. I might write a comment once a day.

    The problem there is that you told him you can't read it, and his response was to ignore you, and not reflect on what he did wrong.

    It's been a long time but I want to share it was a good idea to leave, even to accept less money and a lower position.

    I joined a good company that values skills. 6 months in I was promoted to lead architect. Probably accelerated my career by 5 years.
