So I came to this article miffed that you would advise people not to work as an engineer in a start-up. Glad that's not the case 😁 Do I feel click-baited? Maybe. Do I care? Not really! I like your thesis.
This is something I look for when interviewing with startups as well. It helps to ask the engineering team pointed questions to see how they approach their work. I find that if I'm going to be working closely with an engineer who obsesses over technical purity at an early-stage company... well, there are going to be problems!
Separately, I like the idea of firing oneself. I'm going to do that today.
All things software & product, honestly - FrontEnd, BackEnd, DevOps, ML - as long as we're solving massive problems.
My code is used by millions of users globally - Potatoes make me happy
Hahaha I'm sorry about the click baity article, i try my best to make the titles as such but then no one reads anything i write haha. So i try justify the title with some sortof sense (i hope)
" I find that if I'm going to be working closely with an engineer who obsesses over technical purity at an early-stage company...well, there are going to be problems!" This part is golden! You're on the money there, each start up is different ofcourse, but especially isolated to small company and start up, you do what you gotta do to make shit happen
hahaha all the best :D Let us know how it goes!
