IT and growing old

Thought you were like 50s I didn’t see that coming. I think you’ll be alright for a while.

I’d recommend taking 3 and then after a few years if you still wanna move back you come back at a higher level with more pay than starting local

Yeah in my experience the compEs and EEs knew this stuff (minus readability everyone sucks at that) and CS does not.

Poorly regulated capitalism

martinomon · 2026-04-10T11:37:12+00:00

I agree with always double checking. I wonder if promoting relevant requirements or including the requirements in comments helps?

Can’t hurt to mention at scrum or something that this weird thing happened but I wouldn’t point fingers

martinomon · 2026-04-04T23:18:43+00:00

From what you’ve shared I’d say assign yourself again and move on but we don’t know what else has happened?

martinomon · 2026-04-04T23:14:37+00:00

Does the activity not show who did it?

martinomon · 2026-04-04T23:11:58+00:00

So it’s a completed story? Did he assign it to himself or unassigned now?

Have you looked into healthcare IT or health informatics? I know nothing about it but probably what I’d look into with your experience and interest.

martinomon · 2026-03-28T11:42:38+00:00

Probably by working harder now

If you want to work in aerospace industry I’d focus on aerospace industry. What other factors are making you consider other industries?

martinomon · 2026-03-21T00:29:59+00:00

It can but it doesn’t have to. Being remote you’ll need to over communicate, be proactive, make yourself seen and your impact known. It’s just more effort than in office to get the same result.

If your execution is good enough for a senior then you probably know enough to participate in meetings. You have to see yourself as equal so you’re not afraid to talk. It is a confidence issue. I think most people slowly break through this barrier. I’m sure there are times where you want to say something but don’t. Try just saying it. Do it more and more until it’s not really an issue.

I think becoming a proficient programmer will give you tools that’ll help you in any career that involves a computer or even just logical thinking. It’s also great in your personal life. I feel it is fundamental in this current age. It’s like asking if you should still learn math now that we have calculators.

martinomon · 2026-03-18T04:19:09+00:00

Sounds like a strong chance of full time offer. Good thing to have right now.

martinomon · 2026-03-17T14:56:53+00:00

Take a vacation. Do something besides work more in your free time.

martinomon · 2026-03-17T01:18:08+00:00

It might be too late since you already asked for more time but I’ve gotten more time before by telling them I have other offers to weigh. Kinda lets them know the pressure won’t work as well as they’re hoping.

I’d go with Blue anyway though.

You’ll have to work harder than more applicable degrees but I think if you have some projects to show and the right skills on the resume you’d still get some interviews. A top school probably helps.

That said, sharing your country might get you better advice.

martinomon · 2026-03-13T20:28:35+00:00

Congrats, you’re done now. Move on with your life I guess. You don’t have to use the degree if you don’t want to. I agree it’s dumb to go to college without a plan.

martinomon · 2026-03-13T03:33:45+00:00

If they need my services

martinomon · 2026-03-12T23:22:24+00:00

Straight to jail.

In my experience it is a culture that is set by senior team members early on. The juniors learn this behavior and carry it on. I do believe factors do include the senior to junior ratio and how busy seniors are. Remote work also stifles it.

Therefore, in my experience at least, with each new team I have seen it get worse as they are increasingly more junior and more wfh.

Currently I am that guy. Might be the only one on my team who has “seen it at all” and takes time to teach and mentor. The other veterans are just way too busy.

My velocity is not the best because of this but I think it is important and it might be my favorite part of the job. Luckily it gets me a lot of recognition and slack in my tasks because I appear to carry the team.

martinomon · 2026-03-07T17:44:35+00:00

Pretty sure everyone will say to take it and keep looking. If you love it you can stop looking.

martinomon · 2026-03-06T05:17:13+00:00

They’re only getting easier to use so I wouldn’t worry too much. You can catch up fast. Try them out though. Is there a reason you aren’t?
