I didn’t realize how unique my circumstances were until I started reading r/experiencedevs.

I’ve had 8 jobs over 25 years and over that time, I’ve mostly done green field work, including at my first job out of college.

I’m not even sure I have the skillset to modify a huge existing code base.

Even at one job where there was a large codebase that I was “modifying”, it was mostly to add new CRUD features to an API or website and I did my own vertical “slice” that didn’t involve modifying existing code.
