What I look for in a job
Written some time in 2023-2024. Finalized in 2026, when I was about to change the job.
Semi-structured thoughts about what a new position should have for me to be worth trying.
Money
- enough to compensate for inflation
- mostly cash, as little stock as possible
- ability to balance time and money
People
- smarter than me
- younger than me
- those who share passions with me
Organization
- Small in the first two circles
- Built about maintaining short feedback loops in all processes
Daily tasks
- Focused about what computer software is: something that is easily changeable to fit evolving needs
- Subtraction is valued as much as addition. Cleaning up is appreciated and encouraged
- Focused around measurement-driven decision making
