I noticed that in my career (several companies of every size and different industries) the only thing they have done is to show up n times per week for the scrum meeting, chasing people for (a poorly configured) Jira burocracy and nothing else.

What else they do? How many teams they follow in your company? have they ever been actually useful and if they are not why?

I have seen some figures online but they are limited and don’t paint the entire picture at the same time I am not familiar with all the firms either.

Please share TC composition as well.

I tired of C++.
Yes C++26 has nice features but I am just tired of dealing with its ever expanding complexity.

I am tired of having discussions about minor details of the language or programming tricks rather than focusing on what really matters the most.

I just want to build things and I want them to be well written and fast.

It’s a philosophy issue at this point.

For those who moved out of the language, community and relevant careers how do you feel about it?

This is unpopular on Reddit and among the remaining fandom but I think it’s probably what the average person that has been watching the show thinks

The Boys S1 in 2019 was groundbreaking: smart, bold and funny with an amazingly acted villain that was terrifying.

Season 2 was not bad but that’s were the boys stopped to seriously trying to take out supes and began to loop around the same two themes.

It felt like a filler season more than a real sequel.

At that point we had 3 season left to go, 60% of the total in a well built world with well built characters and therefore endless possibilities.

S3 was a decent season with some very good episodes but was definitely not bold.

The finale was a joke, poorly and cowardly written to not move the plot forward too much

S4 was a poorly written filler season I don’t even remember what they did other than killing one of the most interesting characters.

We are left with 20% of the show to go.

They skipped Vought/HL taking over the institutions, Ashley is already vp.
We didn’t see them taking over normal people with grand set pieces or anything close, budget must be gone.

Nothing interesting happens for 6 episodes.
Homelander is a joke now, the boys keep repeating the same plot lines for the 4th season.

The writing is 95% fan fiction trash level.

They try to push Vought Rising after abruptly cancelling Gen V and ruining the character of SB with its random flip flopping about HL.

Another good IP sacrificed by morons.

As usual the fans defended the slippery slope of slopness for few seasons until it became impossible to contain.

I am a henry and I have worked as SWE for many years as an IC.

I am just tired of this career path, I am tired of sitting in front of a screen the entire day, struggling to fix someone else’s poor decision and dealing with people that don’t know how to communicate properly.

I am therefore looking for ideas of what other career paths I can realistically have.

So if you did it, how did you do?

I would like to stay a Henry because I have bills to pay and the economy is getting worse.

I am tired.

Last companies I have worked on had the same problem but in different flavours.

- Tired of constantly firefighting

- Tired of not doing anything interesting at work

- Tired of having to learn in my (limited) spare time where there are millions other things I want to do as well

- Tired of constantly having to catch up with technology.

- Tired to the additional uncertainty in this career caused by AI.

- Tired of dealing with workaholics, bad team players.

- Tired of managers that don’t want to be managers but they accepted the promotion anyway and have poor managerial and communication skills.

- Tired of endless job interviews

- Tired of practically not having onboarding for systems no one fully understand anymore

How do you deal with its?

I am halfway in my expected career
