Preach it. I feel like you took the words right out of my mouth. I left my last job because I couldn’t keep sitting and listening to the bullshit about how everything had to be built the same, citing “uncle Bob” every.single.day… coerced into long, drawn out PRs that oscillated between “I don’t like how much you’re changing, can you break it up?” to “what’s the reason for this change?” — lol you literally asked me to break it up. I dunno wish them the best, but god that place was a drag. I knew it was a red flag when I logged into the rabbitmq cluster and immediately notices there was no TLS and when I tried to talk about it I got waved off and asked what was assigned to me, 3 months later I open a 2 line PR and the shadow architect goes “wait, we’re not using TLS?” “Nope” “did you mention this before?” “Yep” SMH
