After analyzing the tech stack of this company I am very convinced that this is some sort of elaborate scheme to BANTS by the CEO and CTO. There is no way that this tech should have ever been sold to anyone who knows anything about image science, and the product is A FUCKING CAMERA.
I'm also convinced that I have been hired performatively, so that they can say "haha we now have an image scientist on our team, that's how good we are."

There's another dude on the team who is working on a different part of the product. He basically told me "I'm redoing the X from scratch right now."
That's more or less what I'm going to have to do.

The question is: do I proceed to BANTS along with the company - and enjoy a nice slow pretend-to-work life - or do I actually try to fix the problems with the tech stack - and enjoy the resume item of "became the company's single asset"?
Neither seems inherently more ethical. The former takes more effort, but the latter has a chance of bettering my career.

The "pretend to work" route can lead to a happy life though.
If you work to live, then that kind of a job does allow you to live to your fullest.
But of you live to work, then enjoy fixing a company.
@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty ^^; I'm absolutely closer to the "live to work" category than most. Engineers tend to be like that. It's just natural.
> Engineers tend to be like that.
That's the truth. The only question I regarding my "live to work" position is "who will benefit from the work?" and I try to make that myself and my family as much as I can.

I guess I would be too, If I wasn't so critically missing in the "life" department.
