Relatable

Actually now that you mention it I kinda had a job like that for a brief period (though not at a very big company). It was a very chill (almost too much so), zero stress maintenance job, but it paid sooo much less than the one I have now (like a third of the money) that I probably couldn’t go back and still make ends meet even if I wanted to.

Are there dev jobs where things are allowed to just take the time they take? Asking for a friend.

My feeling so far is that there are few meaningful generationalizations that can actually made about the online Linux community. It’s a very diverse set of individuals. To me the gatekeeping elitists seem more like a vocal minority, but I’m sure that varies a lot by distribution and forum.
