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.
I think I can create pretty anything to solve my/others' needs is pretty amazing.
Onboarding other engineers and coaching them to become the best versions of themselves.
Help others 💙
Fully remote, flexible working, using my technical stack and a good team.
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 😊
Hearing from users that what I'm working on is helping them ❤️
Getting paid to learn.
I like automating stuff a lot. From creating some local helper scripts to bigger stuff like a new CI job, or making an old one better etc. And when these things pay off, when we get value out of it, it makes me the happiest. I really like working on my team's workflow and environment, and it is really rewarding.
Also, writing documentation and then using it days later also makes my day.
The moment when everything comes together and it works. Maybe you have been debugging for hours trying to find a hard to spot bug. The next moment you see it, facepalm yourself for a second. Say, yes of course and fix it.
Or when you have been working on a longer automation script ironing out the bugs and then comes the moment when the script runs completly without errors for the first time
Oh, sweet bliss... ☺️
