    I’m 10+ years into a project that i thought would take like a few months - *face palm*

      A project at work is evidently at least 25 years and counting of being about 6 months away from being successful.

        oh i hate that.

        I was promised to work on projects, projects by definition have an end date, which would mean i’d work on new projects after a given time, because old projects are done.

        the projects?

        • keeping this boring ass old product running!
        • building a product and keeping it running.

        i don’t mind the keeping it running part so much, i mind that those are my “projects” until someone decides they don’t want the product anymore.

        hells for boring ass old project, there is basically zero new stuff, just cleaning up messes earlier devlopers left.
