The new place is logistics based and their growth has been due to effectiveness and increasing reputation so I don't see it going away or anything.

Some Greenfield dev sounds a bit nice overall. It has been a little tiring to be in the exact same codebases for 7 years ya know?

Im in the camp of stability is greater than interesting work. If pay doesnt matter and if i remember correctly you plan to retire in 10 or less?

Why not do interesting shit on solo projects on the side?

My team mate is a bit like you and got bored. So he has been using claude to make mobile apps for his hobbies and selling them on the side.

I dont know man. If you like the people and even if boring. Is the single point of more interesting work really worth it?

This is kind of the thing.

I have been the primary originator of all the work I have done here the past like 5 years. I think them up, plan them out, and just do them as I have de facto ownership and nobody contests me on it. Which is cool. The friction I have here now is that I can solve any technical hurdle, but the org itself wont catch up to make use of it. So I would need to just again expand my solo projects and stuff.

If I wanted stability and to coast I would have absolutely taken that General Motors job I got offered last month and just coasted there doing fuck all for the next decade. I just couldn't make myself do that yet.

Do you have high faith that General Motors wouldn't have laid you off though? I wouldn't take that bet.

Dude, they went through 4 layoff rounds when I worked there and I missed EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE OF THEM.

Those layoff packages were dope as fuck and I really wanted to get one.

Also M Power M Power wtf is up with your complete paranoia about layoffs. Your posts are about nothing but job security and layoff bullshit.
