If so I'm curious:
1. What pushed you to do it?
2. What will you be doing? (Even if nothing!)Currently not doing anything IT related. Just went on a bike ride.
These are some I can think of or have witnessed since starting my dev career in 2010:
- 4GL business languages making developers redundant
- Big data
- Cloud computing
- DevOps
- LLMs
For those about to quit, I salute you.
Not long ago I had a dream about becoming a butcher, and so then I bought half a cow with a friend and after a week trying to cut it out in pieces I realised maybe I was too old to make the move... so im still a programmer.
There's always been absurdity though, right? These are some I can think of or have witnessed since starting my dev career in 2010: - 4GL business languages making developers redundant - Big data - Cloud computing - DevOps - LLMs For those about to quit, I salute you.
I quit later, as it became increasingly clear to me that this guy knew nothing about technology, didn't care, but also had a fragile ego where he had to present himself to the company as being in charge, even though he was the worst person for the role. To top it all off, it also dawned on me over time that we basically had an absentee CEO who was working only ~15 hours a week at most. Then when I quit I found out there was a third co-founder who owned a huge stake of the company and I did not even know existed while I worked there.
When I first interviewed, the CTO seemed like a nice and friendly guy, I didn't immediately see red flags. This was my first startup experience. I'll try to research things better if I decide to join one again. I might also just not join unless I can myself be a co-founder. Fuck reporting to incompetent twats.
Currently taking a sabbatical. I decided to take the summer off. I'm working on personal projects. Lucky enough to have good savings from a previous job so I can afford to do this. I'm planning to take gradual steps towards returning to work near the end of the summer.
