In both cases, devs are expected to own their projects which includes running our own test plans and writing extensive unit/integration tests ourselves. Yeah where I work now (and I assume just about anywhere), all the devs know how to write tests, so it makes me wonder like what the point of my job even is. I guess it's to split out the man hours that would be better spent having them actually develop, but having a skillset that feels like it could be absorbed into other positions is a little scary. grimhilde00 posted... There's more than writing code. Designing systems that scale, are flexible, maintainable. Things get complex. Knowing best patterns, security concerns, monitoring, etc. Isn't that more part of a software architect's role? Idk how it works everywhere, but at my current job we have architects specifically to make those kind of decisions. I could see it being different at smaller/newer places though. grimhilde00 posted... No harm in doing that I think? Would make your resume a bit better and you can see if you like it, and make further steps simultaneously. I'm bored of my current company though and the pay sucks for the industry. I guess it's not necessarily a choose one or the other scenario (jump ship or transition in current role), but I don't know, I just don't really feel excited about adding that to my plate unless it's going to be with a change of scenery. Wander_Nomaddd posted... From my experience, you still end up doing a bunch of regression testing and redlining test procedures even when you're developing software Well but I'd have to do that on my current path, so I'm fine with that if I still gain more career prospects overall. Judgmenl posted... I don't find QA/Devops interesting enough to do for a profession. I would get extremely bored, especially at the glacier pace that all of the Devops I know work at. I don't really know what DevOps really is, we have it at my company but from what I hear from some of the people in it here, we don't really do real DevOps. They seem to spend a lot of time monitoring systems and responding to alerts and shit all the time which sounds miserable to me <cite>GrabASnickers posted [p:949866944] in Do you kno...
