I deliberately became the just a job guy. Why should I bother my arse coming up with “insights into the product” - a product which I don’t own, in a company which I don’t own? They’re still only gonna pay me as a developer. I might as well run my own business if I have to deal with all that. Now I’ll be a short-order cook for 8 hours and forget about work once I’ve left it... at least it’s relaxing.

Don’t you have any issues with delivering a product full of crap? I’ve tried not giving a shit, but I feel it’s just fundamentally impossible.

Yes, I had massive problems with it and it was making me really stressed. I changed jobs to somewhere with more capable leadership, so I could trust the work I was given to not be outright stupid.
