Having spent most of my time maintaining grad student code written in C, that runs as command line tools and services has left me with:
- basically no ability outside my niche field
- don't know how to organise a large project sensibly
- woefully lacking in other languages
Kinda sucks b/c it basically means I'm trapped where I am right now. For all my complaining, it isn't the WORST job, and I have benefits and stuff. I just wish I wasn't the only person holding this together.
But if I ever try to leave... what do I have that anyone would want?
