66antigravity commented on The Seniority Roller Coaster and Down-Leveling in Tech   blog.pragmaticengineer.co... · Posted by u/mooreds

I made a fairly popular reddit post recently on how I down-leveled my career in recent years. Each time I down-level, I get a raise in salary -- it's pretty great.

What that permitted me to learn about myself is that - at the end of the day - I just like solving interesting and challenging problems, working with colleagues as equals, and creating products and solutions that I'm proud of. I have utterly no interest any more in climbing any sorts of ladders, or "chasing" a role, position, or title because I think that'll somehow be the road to riches. Having autonomy, the flexibility to work when I'm productive and inspired (and to not work when not), and interesting/meaningful work is infinitely more important than role or salary. I also feel like I'm not the first person to come to this conclusion.

Mostly agree, but how about a person (lets say like me) who would like to offer skills in exchange for a great salary and thats it? No need for challenging problems, just the autonomy and time - thats what I would care about the most (and € ofc). Personal motto: work for living, not live to work. Therefore: screw those titles.

Why it feels like it's just wiring text with some random logo?

Could you, please, explain why you call it AI and what do you use behind?

I think you should talk to him first.

Tell him how you feel about working with him, why he makes you angry. Do it in a well-behaved manner, dont try to argue, just try to explain your feelings. I know, it must be hard for you to open up, since you are an introvert. But bear in mind that in any job there is someone who you will not like, so changing a job might not be a solution. So dont worry, you wont break anything, nobody should be angry at you only for a small talk about your feelings.

After you pick up your courage and talk to him, wait what will happen. Maybe you will need to do it second time. If it will not stop, just talk to somebody else above him and somebody may find a better solution for you two.

First of all, I would rather use docker-compose, not a single docker build, since your app can grow. Speaking of growing, I would separate dev & prod docker-compose.

> When we develop more than one python project, we need to configure our development environment with the dependencies of all the projects.

use pyenv and simple virtualenvs.

I think you are trying to substitute a virtualenvs with a docker. Why trying to kill a sparrow with a cannon?
