If you're bored then you should get some personal projects going so that you can flesh out your public portfolio more and transition to a company or team that is going to engage and interest you more.

Your other issues are just because people are people. Sometimes they do dumb things, and that can be annoying, but how you deal with that is up to you. You can either write them off as dumb, or you can offer to lend a hand and improve their lives. The latter will be more fulfilling for you and also earn you their respect. The former will distance you from them and make it harder for you to be considered part of the "core team".

Choose your battles, and your tactics, carefully.

good points, thank you.

i'm afraid my 1st post was more hateful than intended - I have a grumpy morning, with not enough coffee and and over-active daughter.

I don't regard them as dumb, they are actually good at what they are doing, just it's the way they are doing it. It's just that i can learn what they are doing good - project management and shit, but they probably won't learn how to fix their scaling issues, and they don't care, but do htey have to care ?
One time i went to my supervisor to ask him something, and saw him using winamp with the classic skin, it was like a flashback, wtf, am I in the matrix or something ? And I hear from him "i have no idea" too often, sometimes I manage to fix highly specific features all by myself, but I think I can use this to shine through. Also, i stopped giving my opinion unwanted some time ago, too few people appreciate this hsit

First paragraph is lol windows bullshit who fucking cares about your dumb gay windows setup preferences you moron, those senior engineers show up to work in Teslas and Mercedes, think about this a little harder

Paragraph 2: Don't do a shitty job. But...

Never become great at something you don't like doing.

actually, they all come with the public transport, i even meet one of the leaders of our department in the bus, he lives nearby. We talked about coming to work with bicycles when summer finally comes. I'm not exactly sure what your point is, what country are you thinking about, the USA ? I'm in central and german-speaking Europe.

>Never become great at something you don't like doing.
that is actually bothering me. I took the job as QA, because the company where I used to work was turning to shit, and got a surprise offer from this place. Next week I have some bugfixing to do and hopefully I can deliver the project, receive good feedback from the consultants/client and hopefully this will get heard from the big guys. I don't know what they have in mind, but maybe the first dev project would be crucial for my future in the company.
