Ways of approaching problem-solving:

• Using documentation, reviews, and PR FAQs
• Very nice co-workers
• Projects can be interesting
• Flexibility to work outside of the office (either from home or for a few days in another country)
• Operation processes

• Internal tools are causing lots of pain and reducing productivity.
• Timelines for delivery are way too ambitious, resulting either in failure, loss of quality, and generating stress for developers.
• Prioritization often goes to feature delivery as opposed to quality.
• Frugality is sometimes ridiculous.
• Very slow career/salary progression (usually lower than inflation).

• Give people time to do their job.
• Push for better quality rather than new features.
• Stop rebuilding everything internally. Buy some tools, software, or licenses so that developers can focus on their job, not on how to make the software work with the internal tools.
