But isn't it because in the enterprise projects JavaScript code is written by Java/C# developers who think they know JavaScript, while they really don't?

I've seen multiple examples of "enterpisey" web apps, and there was no joy, just because developers didn't know how to build a good application with JavaScript and even more - they didn't care at all.

With a "don't touch anything that works" mindset that lots of enterprise developers have - you write write-only JavaScript code and when it becomes too large - of course, there is no joy in touching this kind of codebase.

Every enterprise project with a in-browser front-end needs a good front-end developer from the start to set up good code, good practices and good attitude to a front-end part of the code, and it will be fine: the joy won't fade away.

No, it is because:

- Unit tests have zero value over new features

- Project development tends to be outsourced to teams with high attrition rates

- Most of the time cheaper developers are what matter

- No one cares about quality, because there are no options to get the software from somewhere else

Oh, the dream enterprise, where can I get a job?

If you're willing to live in sunny SE QLD, Australia, and good at C# as well as JS, get in touch.

Thanks for the invite, it is a bit far from Germany and Portugal. :)
