Started a new position just before covid. I Spent 3 months getting access to basic systems.
Servers and access is constantly shifting. So I lose access to things all the time. Or how I get to something changes every couple of weeks.
I see other developers make a change to code, UI tweak, wait 5-15 minutes to see a change, then make another change.
If I work on something else for a couple weeks and come back the entire process of running it locally will be belke, requiring hours to fix again.
Running test suite is 15+ hour process. Deployments takes 4-12 hours.
Everyone is given 5-8 projects to work on at the same time. Collaboration is discouraged.
Productivity is nearly zero.
People were blown away that I spent two days to fix development minor changes could be seen in seconds, not minutes.
I’ve seen several teams now where any investment in speedy development was considered a waste.
Infrastructure is another odd one, seen many companies were infrastructure is completely failing, yet all effort is on building new features.
Hint clients are leaving because the product is broken. Not because of a missing feature.
