My coworker got promoted over me.

He was worse at coding. Better at politics.

I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.

He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game.

He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".

That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance.

Six months later I quit. Started freelancing.

Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly.

The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used.

Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence.

If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations.

Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.

@leftythfc My older sister had a crush on Danny Blanchflower, and for some reason my older brother started supporting them and I followed suit.

@PhilipsCare I have a PHILIPS Shaver S9987/55 and I have had problems with the new GroomTribe app version 8. I was advised to reinstall, but now it will not connect at all?

An older woman in the pub carrying a tray of drinks into the beer garden just said to everyone "two soups" and nobody reacted and I think I love her.
