But again, the fact that ugly code is all you need doesn't mean that I have to be content with that.

I'm not sure what to do. The ambition level at work isn't high and the pay isn't great, but I need to work there for a few years to show prospective employers that I can actually hold down a job.

I wish I wasn't in the situation of only being able to do this now, four years away from age 40. I'm a bit old to be climbing the ladder.
