Working for six months on a project that initially sounded awesome, but the combination of the slowness of client feedback (it would take weeks to get signoff on features that would have been days for other projects), and conflicts with the architect (I asked questions regarding the project, he'd complain to my manager that I was asking questions) had me moved onto a legacy maintenance project for three months, then laid off when the budget ran out. Add financial fun and being hospitalised for what turned out to be an uncontrolled blood pressure spike and ya, it was a fun time.

I'm now with another company managing various development teams to add continuous delivery to their projects. Combo of project management, business and system analysts, and a bit of coding and devops knowledge has been making this project challenging, but pretty cool to work on.
