I’m very happy that I’m lead/solo dev at my company because I get to just say no. If I don’t want to maintain it it doesn’t get done since everything I do is internal tooling.

Also means that our whole company runs on a Python codebase with a single dependency. It took me 3 years to finally get around to vendoring a fast graphing library in our codebase because I wanted everything to be ours. We’ve had 3 other devs come through and only one of them has actually been able to produce something that got merged in.

Maybe I’m just an insane person, but when all of production relies on our code, I want to know exactly how it works and where everything is.
