I enjoy writing software, but…
I’m sick of making yet another fucking CRM.
I’m sick of trying to keep data synced between seven different third-party services.
I’m sick of trying to pull everything in the database into a single fucking dashboard.
I’m sick of trying to stay within a budget that’s based on some wild-ass guesstimates made by someone who quit over a year ago.
I’m sick of creating things that will only ever be seen by a couple people in some random companies, and will be enjoyed by nobody.
I’m sick of being tasked with 5 different types of programmers jobs
In the past month alone I’ve worked on:
A web scrapping program to compile realtors information in a state I don’t live in, their properties sold and the values of those properties in the mls database. 1000s of web pages
a react native mobile apps backend transition from mongdb and express to a google cloud platform and firestorm database
a stencil.js website for a company that sells soaps and essential oils, as well as manage the backend changes because of arbitrary tariff price increases
a Python data pipeline to sync various name brand companies inventories with a shoddy sku management system
tax and shipping costs module integrations
Bro what is happening out here, I work for one company
Yeah, that’s why I work in DevOps. Pre-defined scope.
We don’t even have devops people. The developers are tasked with all of that too.
I see why you’re ExtraMedicated.
