Me as a junior dev writing 1000 lines of spaghetti code everyday: "Let's go!!!"
Me as a senior dev writing 5 lines of code everyday and spent the rest of the day reviewing thousands LoC commits from my juniors: "I didn't sign up for this. I should've learn carpentry instead."
That's more like it. Also, the more senior I became the more my LoC "productivity" became negative. Now, I get pleasure from deleting obsolete shit or replacing error prone spaghetti with a simple API call the author did not know about (more often than I like to admit that author is myself).
The worst part of being a senior dev is doing all the responsibilities as a team lead but not having the resources in place to not be required to be an individual contributor. I can’t imagine many people wake up each morning excited to be wearing both hats and doing a poor job at each.
Well dang. Is it like that everywhere? I was hoping it was just my org and I had a chance to escape someday.
Newbie tradesmen: laughs in the wrong kind of screw.
“I didn’t sign up for this. I should’ve learn carpentry instead.”
I know a programmer who got fed up with corporate bullshit and did exactly that; they just got their diploma from a vocational school and now they're officially a carpenter.
