Agreed, if you want to work for large businesses. Processes are important as small start-ups learn to deal with enterprise class problems. You might also take your experience and see about contributing your skills to an Open Source project. Not everyone is or should be a code monkey. What you will get, if you persevere, is an understanding of the challenges very small high energy teams face. You may have that now, in which case you're likely to really help the project! If you like your skillset, take it outside the office. Contribute to projects and get known in the communities. Have fun! You'll age slower and be the envy of the Wall Street mega rich.

Comment Evolution is shoddy (Score 1) 1293

Evolution theory is shoddy pseudo-science; a mass of changing assumptions based on data that is not clearly understood. If you think the odds are that in evolution are good, you're probably expecting a MegaMillion lottery win every day for the rest of your life. I have yet to see how intelligent people can look at the assumptions made, see how often they change, see how slim the "facts" really are, and still believe in evolution. Spend some time with Ken Ham and the Creation Museum. Feel free to not believe, but be willing to have your "science" challenged. Go in with a scientific mind and let me know how good your science is afterwards.

Comment Mine lead to a job interview (Score 1) 703

I get the "your position has been reorganized away" talk from my boss. After dealing with the frustration for a bit I start sending out e-mails handing off project tasks and making sure my documentation is useful. By the end of the day I had an informal interview with another team and started with them the day after my severance package ended.
