Working for corpos. It’s a dream for most of IT people to get hired in Google or Microsoft. I guess being a worthless cog in a world-destroying machine is the top of the game these days.
As a software architect, I only target small companies. And I can do anything I fucking want, I’m currently rocking a SolidJS+TRPC+Prisma setup and life is a dream.
Your dreams are my nightmares. Maybe that’s why I stick to backend these days.
I used to want to work for Google because I thought they were hiring the best and brightest and making cool stuff. That hasn’t been true in ages, though, as they do things that I definitely would define as ‘evil’ and love to kill off their products. Even were I to work there, I’m not sure my other goal, getting to work with and learn from some brilliant engineers, would even happen anymore. (I mean, if they’d hire me (and they almost did ages ago)…)

The idea is to be a cog in which you can get lost and do minimal work while collecting a fat paycheck
