Pretty done.
Employers: Making it an obligation that I act like we have in house tools that were meant to exist 3 years ago, doing everything manually.
Customers: So beholden to their technical debt that they would rather pay ten times the opex than the capex to remove the debt.
Shits me to tears.
Sometimes technical debt is kept rather than being fixed because "if we fix this some high-value technologically-challenged clients will no longer be able to use our service."
This is actually solvable but will need an "out of the box" thinking.
Oh that's an entirely different flaming dumpster, but I feel that too.
