How can you tell if your job is “easy” vs that you’re getting good at it? /u/NotTooShahby CSCQ protests reddit

2 years of experience here, things are picking up at my new job and now that everything feels stable (instead of layoffs like in my previous jobs), I’m picking up on a lot more.

Here’s what’s different: 1. I’m on meds finally, so I’m actually focused and passionate about what I do now. In my first small company I just barely got stuff done, and in my second large corp I was focused on tools that abstracted a lot away.

1. While I’m not working on cloud, docker, openAPI specs, Jenkins tools as much, I’m writing more code. It’s a small company so lots of things come from scratch.

2. Finally took the time to read the essential books (pragmatic programmer and clean code), also took time to learn shortcuts.

3. Touch typing. I’ve finally learned how to touch touch, started over with 40wpm and am now at 80.

4. I got responsibility on a new project, while yeah it’s basic crud stuff I’m working more directly with database calls, actual sql, setting up environments from the ground up, but I’m not going as deep as I did in my corp job.

Any thoughts? My jobs still basically CRUD. Does that make it too easy?
