The Middle Loop - Annie Vella

Early in my career, I took a job as a software developer at a large consultancy. Turns out the work mostly involved fixing other people’s Access databases by right-clicking and hitting “repair”. I lasted about a month before I thanked them for the opportunity, handed in my resignation, and moved on. The point is: what you spend your time on defines what you think about. What you think about is what you practice. And what you practice is what you build skill on. The title said “software developer” but the daily work said something else entirely.
