Know that I completely empathize with everything here, even the consultancy bits. It kills me when companies won’t do basic things like CI/CD. In fact, that’s one of the major red flags. If a company isn’t minimum doing some sort of pipeline to go to prod it’s pretty much a no from me at this point. It’s such an important critical security step that if you didn’t do that, you’re not doing a lot else either.
Sounds like you’re where I was, but you’ve had a longer timeline luckily. Don’t let them blame you, don’t let them put it on you. Sounds like you’re walking that political tightrope pretty well.
Thank you for the kind words, I’ve been feeling pretty low since then and your last few words made me smile :)
Thanks, shits been getting worse recently when the architect joined, and took things in his own hands at one point and told somebody he was talking shit. The architect was right, but was instantly ignored afterwards. which is why i asked the company to look for a new project because fuck that. And seeing the architect agreeing with me made me realise how bad it was and that what i thought wasnt wrong.
Either case, i learned from this project that some product teams can not be changed and its better to say fuck it.
Up to better moments and share our knowledge and ways with people that do care!
Good point about the ci/cd and i think i need to start asking that question in job interviews!
