That sounds familiar.

I'm supposed to be rewriting a critical part of the main system, while modernising it and preparing to roll out new features (and fixing the constant serious and critical bugs that crop up every couple of days), while managing the initial planning for the company who fucked up the current one to start working on another fucked up one (don't ask, I lost that fight) while dealing with user issues, GDPR compliance, systems administration (still have servers on Debian 7 with PHP5) and on and on it goes.

It's part of the reason why when I'm off in a week or so I'm going to mull over whether it's simply time to leave, I want to work on a team again where it doesn't all fall on me.

Seems stupid to do all the above for the same money as a regular developer on a normal team can get.




Sounds like a situation that can only be drowned in many,many,and I mean many, pints of beer...


If I could drink I would but I can’t for medical reasons.
