Good idea!

Ask HN: What do you look for in a company (as a programmer)?

Posted by sownkunz on Friday May 01, 2015 @10:14PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm starting to look for new job opportunities after having a bad experience at my current employer.One thing dawned on me: that I think it's better if I have a highly technical manager (as opposed to a non-technical manager). As a programmer, I just have a hard time respecting non-technical managers at work.Any other insights others have gained over the years?

Re:I won't be using Angular for my next project on Sunday April 05, 2015 @06:57PM (#9325612)
We use Angular on our application and I can't stand it. The only thing I like about it is how well testing is built in to the framework. Beyond that it is far too complicated. Once your project really grows and you've got a huge Angular codebase, with the sometimes inevitable rushed pace you need to work in at a company, it just becomes a disaster. "Scope" crap everywhere that you have no idea where to find what you're looking for.

Definitely would look into something else for my next project.
