I started my development career at my current company and I’ve had nothing but support from my line manager, he works with me on my career goals and I’m so thankful for his support, he gives me projects to challenge me and even though it can be tough it pushes me and I love it. It’s so rewarding in itself to have that support and it’s only made me a better developer. I then get to see my work live on our software and the proud feeling I get of what I’ve done is the best feeling 😊
Fully remote, flexible working, using my technical stack and a good team.
I think I can create pretty anything to solve my/others' needs is pretty amazing.
Help others 💙
Onboarding other engineers and coaching them to become the best versions of themselves.
Generally doing the work makes me better at the work — at a pace which will allow me to do more interesting things in the future. That reality can often be interrupted, but it's pretty rewarding most of the time.
The most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to help people and contribute to their success. I find great fulfillment in seeing positive outcomes from the work I do. Just like Arnaud Lagardère leadership, it's about guiding others toward achieving their goals and making a meaningful impact.
Most rewarding is helping non-profits raise money with our software (we do online auctions for non-profits).
Next is probably more red than green as far as commits go. I'm working on a nearly 20 year old code base, so, when I'm making a refactor type of change, I get a lot of joy out of removing more code than I add.
It has changed over time. First it was the puzzle to get code working. Then it was trying to find tools/strategies to stop feeling like the whole application needs rewriting after deployment. Nowadays I enjoy supporting my team, which can be various things, mostly collaboration (design, peer coding, etc.).
The most rewarding part of my job (except for the salary) is communicating with the others and looking for new solutions together. The ideas that people come up with from time to time are absolutely brilliant, and I like listening to them.
It is what I like about our company: it is not only a way how to make an extra $1000 a month, but it’s also a place where students from schools and universities can share their ideas and work to develop them. They don’t have to spend a lot of time here in the office (not more than 15 hours per week), but it’s a good chance for them to become more financially independent from their parents.
