I’m absolutely, unequivocally, happiest at my job when I’m simply making things better.
I loathe building new features, adding new functionality, starting yet another product launch, etc. Yet it feels like 80% of my time at my job is doing the above, probably more.
nobody will complain if your software is faster, or simpler, or just plain better. And I can happily spend the remaining years of my career making that happen.
Software developers need to quit building yet another front end framework, and get back to the actual engineering aspects of making things more performant. IMO, it’s far more rewarding.
