Hi, I normally contract in MSBI, Oracle, .Net/.Net Core, focusing on a property platform at the moment. Have also been working hard on upgrading my limited company website too.
The $&* measuring side to most commercial development teams. Indeed, it has been one of the most bruising sides of developing software. One thing I absolutely can do is to build solutions end to end. This makes people feel uncomfortable. What should be a benefit to the team - that I acquired a lot of additional skills working on my own projects becomes weaponised to hide their insecurity. We all have weaknesses and things to learn and a personal goal is to learn from other people.
My last few contracts have been thoroughly unpleasant, and at the heart of this is somebody with a massive ego who doesn't want to think there is a better way.
So in short, it is overly-competitive people who are willing to throw you under the bus for another paycheck. This includes managers and the like.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
