@Programmatic93 if the standard processes meant that they're request would take a while to be looked at and required more work than using the tools provided, you may find the tools get used more (I was more referring to deployment and testing automation, but no worries)

@iAmNaN often, but not always, don't disagree with your general message though.
Ultimately, if you've got some freedom, any job can be interesting, if you've got good team leadership, they may well take care of that side for you :-)
When you're trying to explain a concept as simple as it can be to your non-dev family and friends, but they're...
I'm in a dilemma.
I started this job about 9 months ago and it's really not what I expected. I'm the sole developer in my department that handles applications built around our customer database.
Well it's pretty boring and there is a lot of technical debt with the source code since usually 1-2 people are taking care of it so they never had proper conventions. And we have super old applications running on legacy solutions like cold fusion 🤢
I also receive a lot of problem tickets that never contain enough information to actually do anything and the people don't realize I have no idea what they do or what their business processes are.
The upside is I'm paid very very well for this job > 100 in a place where cost of living is cheap. And when there's no work to do I can work on side projects.
It's really not fulfilling work and idk if I should stick it out. I also don't know where I would head next. There's not very many companies working on cool stuff. Maybe remote work?
Anyone else have a similar story?
