Not me 2:00am slack posting links to DataDog where our DB latency is at 30 seconds "is this bad?" while I hotfix better 500 handling to the client app.
I have encountered the same problem but as a FE engineer who doesn’t do backend. (we should hang out)
I think some shops just really want everyone to be interchangeable as a way of ensuring no one becomes too niche and therefore irreplaceable. i.e. it’s a control thing.
My suggestion would be to look for info early on in the vetting process for stuff like how titles work there and how teams are organized. possibly ask to talk with other potential teammates or other employees.
My understanding is that goldman sachs, who operates the apple card under the hood, is trying to get out of the deal because they lose money on it.
I presume that the type of person who wants an apple card is strongly negatively correlated with the kind of person from whom they could make lots of money via fees from. I would bet my apple card balance that the percentage of apple card customers who religiously pay off their balance every month is much much higher than industry average.
