Same situation here. Worked on esotheric software and exotic language, gathered my balls and said give me work on my tech stack or I leave.
Got the work to do on my tech stack. Shit is over complicated but ok, i can work with that. Stupid requests, PMs bending over developers asses to every fucking request.
I'm not completely ok with that, but it is good money...
Tons of other shitty parts and rusty gears in this whole machine. I recently realised that we are doing it only for the sake of the money, selling shitty products, but good money.
Currently rebuilding extra complex system into shitty unprepared and rigid system that is not meant to do what the original system is doing. Can we hack this? Can we hack that?
Screw the client and his needs, we'll bleed them out dry and do the minimal thing just to grab the money.
Polished my CV and sending it on every job that seems like doing honest work without bullshit!
Today's episode of Bluey is called: "I am not ready to go back to work after a week long mandatory vacation in which I will go back into a space that has made my passion into a shitless grabs for money"
Seriously, If I hear "the president of the institution does not like <X>" I will blow my brains out.
What is worse, every "leAderShiP" meeting I ask if shit is actually a policy towards were my department head says "no, but the boss does not like <X>" <--- then fucking make it a policy.
Seriously, I have a wife, I have but one woman to keep happy, I ain't about to break my back on dumb shit that some lady dislikes when I already have to keep 1 woman happy.
Going to work is a paycheck to me, but fuck man, I am seriously leaving. Good luck trying to find fkers this part of town that can patch my software be it that I wrote it in the most esoteric shit known to mankind on these modern days.
Might start listening to recruiters, I get about 50 offers a day.
