And you're getting to greenfield it with a ton of autonomy. But not because anyone asked you to or the deadlines are forcing you to. Once in a blue moon, you might work past 5. People are pretty good about leaving at 5pm.
Then they go to bat to make sure you get the rope you need to build the next cornerstone.
They're more like architects who understand how long stuff takes to build and what it'll look like when its done. They're not people you have to put together a powerpoint for. Most, if not all, of our managers used to be great developers, too. Then everyone stops you at the same time. When you want to change something, nobody stops you. When you have a suggestion, people hear you out. When you have a question, someone answers it. Because that's more or less how we work every day. The closer you look, the more you realize that it was engineered as a cornerstone, and it's still doing its job well. As a result, the legacy stuff isn't broken. From the interns to the managers, everybody's great at their job and takes pride in the quality of it. That's when you realize you've never met an idiot here. That level of responsibility can be stressful after you head down a legacy rabbit hole that leaves you wondering how we manage to go a week without everything imploding. We're solving complicated problems at scale every day while knowing that wrong kind of sloppiness could feasibly crater a trillion bucks out of the economy.
