having the same dev job you had 15 years ago? in this economy?
Been in mine 25 years. I could probably make more money elsewhere, but then I'd have to get a proper job rather than be the coding equivalent of an unmaintained fire extinguisher.
oh i just meant because usually tech companies go bust or merge in under five years these days :3 but that's honestly so amazing and i'm happy that you are that happy where you are!
Damn that sounds nice, I want a job like that...
Ive moved jobs 4 times in the last 10 years and only 1 of those jobs has actually moved me off the projects I’ve been working on.
I’ve legitimately responded to my own Issue with a fix to the bug I put in against that code that I wrote at a previous place. It’s weird.
I almost always get another set of eyes since it’s my old code but that’s always fun “hey I wrote this 6 years ago and it still works but it’s gross … please don’t judge me”
My colleague and "squad leader" (ie boss without the salary) is a few months younger than me and has been in the same company for about 18 years. Meanwhile I think the longest I've been somewhere is about 2 years.
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" has me giggling every time.
