For Hire: Brutally Honest Web Developer

Hello, potential employer! Here is what you can expect if you employ me... I Believe Writing code: Is a very personal process Is best done alone, without interruptions Is an art form Excessive planning will usually lead you to the wrong result - the best way to work is organically The best developers are self taught Everything should be questioned The most enjoyable coding is when you're also learning something new Deadlines are arbitrary, and should generally considered a very low priority Sometimes, 'Clever' code is actually better Developers should actually understand what they are doing, and the code they are writing/pushing A project does not have to be useful to be worthwhile 2 week sprints are way too short Code does not need to be understandable by the most junior person in the team I Will Write code in the way I want, based on many years of experience Push back against poor or deliberately enshittified user experiences Want to understand as many parts of the system I'm working
