Have you worked on anything in the last 6-12 months that you are genuinely excited about and can’t wait for customers/coworkers/peers to see it?
Keep it tight by not sharing any details, but I am curious where the next big thing is coming from.

No, because we don’t ever fix anything or add business functionality, all we do is swap out old for new … tools, people, & orgs. Maybe we should look at what our competition is doing around being easy to do business with. When you’re difficult, unreliable and high maintenance, you better have the coolest f’g products on the planet, or else out Customers will go elsewhere
I was super excited about a lot of things I was working on. Then I got laid off
I'm excited to all of sudden be made responsible to keep the lights on for an entire function after the team that did it was laid off. I have no real leadership around me or tools to do, but somehow manage by being real scrappy with what I have for now. What I am doing is totally unsustainable and I am certain things will come crashing down at some point. My only hope is to have moved on to something else by then.
There are hundreds of employees in DPD, NDP, GT and VL that have not shipped a consumer-facing value additive feature in 3 years.
Any of this stuff non-tech? Pretty much only saw GT answers here.
I like what ON has going on with their Cloudboom Strike LS, that’s pretty exciting
I would be excited if the "innovation" would stop wrecking the fit of all the apparel products.
I’m excited about moving to a fully remote position.
Data Engineering, nothing exciting. Last time we did something big was implementing Snowflake back in 2018. Since than stuck in politics and lack of leadership
Anything that sends more work to India!!!
Last project that I found exciting and made it fun to come into work was 2017. Since then, mind numbing boredom
Data engineering. Everything I was excited for got the rug pulled out from under us by the reorg.
Life goes on
Yes. I was on a project that was slated to save the company millions every year. In the first year we would save a good 35% more than it cost to build, and we would save those millions EVERY year.
The project got cut because ELT has no idea what is happening and what is valuable.
Politics won out and my engineers were cut. Likely to save vanity projects or further fatten the offshore good old boys network.
I’m very excited about the work we are doing in Architecture for data in global tech. It’ll help business make better decisions
That is a no from me here at NSRL... It has been a few years since any project I was excited for 🙄
