Things I should know by now for perm roles:
1. If I have to provide my own laptop they can’t afford me.
2. If they dumped testing to “go faster” more than a year ago run away
3. If the original team was 5+ and now there’s 2 run away
4. If a wet behind the ears comp sci bod wrote a custom engine to manage all the domain context logic run away
5. If the app framework version is so crusty you can’t run it native and have to debug at a distance through docker run away
6. I should avoid MySql
Follow
7. Docker
8. The promise of an eventual bonus is useless unless it’s in the contract
Just in case you missed it, the lack of testing means there is no coherent way of deploying code you know works to the best of your knowledge. When you’re in this position you’re fucked and the repository branches are a joke because they’re not locked down.
Just before I arrived they spent one individuals time for nearly a month stabilising the previous release.
I wanted to make it work but I’ve had enough now.
Deploying by hand using Docker Swarm to 15 different machines is just not me.
