WHAT KIND OF WORK I WANT (IN 2025)

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Sean Goedecke wrote a post describing the kind of work he wanted in 2021 - this is a follow-up post on the type of work he wants now. Since 2021, the balance of power in tech has shifted away from engineers and towards tech companies. The biggest change in Goedecke's engineering values is that he no longer wants to work in a pure maintenance role on existing legacy systems. Overall, his 2021 and 2025 statements of values are fairly similar, despite changing a lot as an engineer over the years.
