I am an individual contributor, decently paid at a medium size business. I developed warehouse management systems, inventory managers etc. Very small team and projects have been quite successful.

Do other teams depend on your work?

I've run into like "the build system team", where the build system was some patchwork of hacks that never quite worked, and was also completely opaque to those who used it. The cycle was

1. Try to do something

2. Encounter a build problem

3. Talk to the build system guys, they promise to look into it fast

4. Twiddle your thumbs for a week while the entire team is blocked

5. Goto 1
