A friend works with software for the city. Took him a year of part-time work to get a basic web app made and deployed on Azure. He’d always complain that all his colleagues were incompetent save a few. I asked him why he doesn’t get a more ambitious job, but he likes how little results he can get away with delivering.

I wish government jobs paid better.

Yeah that's the tradeoff. I like working with very competent people but it's effort every day to stay on top of things.
