I loved my previous job. It paid shit but I learned so much. Starting from prototyping to production. DevOps, Development etc. I started a new job 1 year ago. It pays great but man, I only do “if-else” nothing else.

My old boss contacted me for some contract job because the dev that he hired after me, not only he didn’t do anything, but broke production and all other systems on a Friday before going on vacation. So the company went old school with excel spreadsheet to keep track of orders.

I accepted the contract job and man. I’ve learned so much these past 2 weeks, working only ~ 10 hrs / week.

    Breaking production on a Friday before going to vacation - man, that looks like a very well planned and executed revenge

    @asgs While I would agree with you, I know the guy. We were in college together. He just doesn’t care and does the bare minimum. (While I would argue less than minimum in this case)

    My former boss him after 4 months.

    Work to learn, or work to earn. Either is fine but both is ideal.

    Same dude, my last company had some complicated issues with a 12 year old code base. My current one is making simple websites for large corporations but pays way more.
