What's your dream job?

Just having some Tuesday night fun here. I'm curious what folks' dream job is. Let's hear it at all.

Kelly Clarkson telling you you can do anything and to dream big

Some potential dream criteria:

  • Company or type of company
  • type of work/language(s)
  • ideal PTO
  • perks etc.

Dream big. 😎

Any job where I can be lazy. I'm a web engineer but also a creative person. I can find solutions to problems that my colleagues cannot but I absolutely hate grinding and doing repetitive and boring work.

TBH, no idea if such a job exists. If it does, please, let me know.

Business process improvement and automation. My favorite projects are where I get to sit down with a team and really dig into their process and see where we can add a bit of technology to make it flow better. I really enjoy being able to help them make real improvements, not just adding another shiny new tool that doesn't actually make things better.

Software Engineer but in another country.

It could Australia, New Zealand, Finland or other places. I would like to relocate due to many reason I cannot state here to prevent controversial debate (They're not related to programming.). I would love to work with functional programming languages such as Haskell, Clojure or Racket. Any other languages are fine.

At the start of the pandemic I took a leap to do what I thought I always wanted and became an independent consultant.

I'm more satisfied now than I have ever been and I still see how much more growth there is ahead of me.

Four years later, I can say that I did it. I’m living my dream every day and every moment, and it feels so good. It just goes to show that I was right to take your advice.

Back in a day I was fascinated by the gamedev. Truth is I still am, but wouldn't dare to step my foot in that industry (there are way too many things wrong with it).

On more realistic note - it should be a product company I'd believe in, have direct communication channel with the end users, minimal zoom/in-person meetings, small team of likeminded people and trust from the leadership to let us do what we think is right, without thinking about the budgets, resources, politics, reporting, meetings and other counter-productive BS so ingrained in our industry.
