I think this is only half of it. Years ago, I worked at a company where my time was split between working on a bespoke platform for an older client and a generic platform that would be used for all clients going forward. The bespoke platform was essentially being used to fund the development of the generic platform. The contrast between the two was stark: the bespoke platform was legacy in all its weird glory, and the generic platform was considerably higher quality. Seeing that contrast up close, and flipping between working on each one, was immensely useful to me. It made it clearer why I favour certain approaches over others, and it made concepts easier to explain to others. Since then, I'm of the opinion you should aim to work with both the good and the bad to clarify the "why" of things. |
