I spent most of last year working on a high-paying project for a huge company that was the dumbest shit imaginable and everyone on this thread would heap scorn if they saw it. I earn more than I know what to do with and would love to work on something actually useful for a change even if it meant less money and 10 year old tech.
The stack we used to build the expensive nonsense was all super modern and cutting edge. I'm still looking for emotional fulfillment in a Perl/CGI environment.
