My ideal next role is developing software for my own product. The main characteristic would be:
- no annoying managers to manipulate me
- no forced 'happy team'
- no agile or scrum
- no spaghetti codebase
- no code reviews
- no managers and self made 'important' people taking a cut of my produce
- no need to lick ass of colleagues to survive the office politics
- no traffic jams, no commuting
- a healthier and happier life in general
At this point I expect to be rejected from the interview, and wish them all the best.
I'd hire you over a candidate who gives the 'ideal' answers given in the article. Atleast I'd get an honest no BS assessments about work without having to coax it out.
