Ive been depressed professionally lately because I realized the practices that get implemented about half the time today are things my cohort and I were pushing for 10+ years ago as being essential to sanity. With such a long window for adoption it means you get to have the same six arguments again and again and again.

I really can’t atomach the idea that my job is to solve the same set of problems over and over again.

I may have to convince someone to hire me in a specialty field I’ve never worked in before just to fight the tedium and to trick myself into thinking these are new problems.
