    Me as a junior dev writing 1000 lines of spaghetti code everyday: “Let’s go!!!”

    Me as a senior dev writing 5 lines of code everyday and spent the rest of the day reviewing thousands LoC commits from my juniors: “I didn’t sign up for this. I should’ve learn carpentry instead.”

        The worst part of being a senior dev is doing all the responsibilities as a team lead but not having the resources in place to not be required to be an individual contributor. I can’t imagine many people wake up each morning excited to be wearing both hats and doing a poor job at each.

      “I didn’t sign up for this. I should’ve learn carpentry instead.”

      I know a programmer who got fed up with corporate bullshit and did exactly that; they just got their diploma from a vocational school and now they’re officially a carpenter.
