Its two weeks (and 1 day) until yiffit’s cake day (or at least post 1 and Wander’s cake day) Thank you @Wander For hosting and running yiffit this past year. 🥂
Not just my job, but the entire industry I’m in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don’t like it. My skill-set isn’t very transferable either.
My degree was what seemed like fun. At the time I didn’t think of any long term implications. I still think the details could be fun if it was a novel challenge. But yea, my personal philosophy doesn’t really align with my work.
Wile working for my previous employer, the people around me were amazing, the organization and high level leadership, not so much. Myself and many co-workers left within about 6 months of each other. My old boss is leading a new field office for a different company in the city, and many of my previous coworkers are still working for him. I’ve been lucky about good direct reports. I hate any meetings that are not technical; I find them draining and pointless. Blind obedience to the agile development process can go die in a hole.
Skill sets take years, you get pigeonholed pretty fast. Major changes to skill sets take years and can cost a bit of money. Pretty much the only companies that would want my skill set are companies that I wouldn’t want to work for.
Funny you mention a doorbell; I used 3 pi-0ws (front door, back door, chime) to make a wireless doorbell for my parents. No video or notifications, just a remote chime. That was a fun project.
Almost cake day

How are you?
How are you doing? Anything you want to brag about? Rant about? Just shout into the void?
