Are there any niches in programming where there are no rallies, huge open spaces, bureaucracy?

Question

Career in IT

For example, Sbertech, Tinkovo ​​have all this. I wish all this didn't happen. Perhaps the sphere somehow affects the presence of all this. Perhaps the technology stack somehow depends on the field, for example, banks do not often write in Ruby.
Maybe drivers, large open spaces, corporate schizophrenia (when they try to zombify you with business trainings and other events and settings), there is no dress code in some niches?
For example, in startups, web-studios? Maybe in technologies (though not always): PHP, Ruby, Node.JS, Go, Python, iOS, Android, UI design? And in such technologies there is more of this: Java, C#, T-SQL, PL/SQL, C++? Maybe such companies have more of this: banks, international companies like Procter & Gamble, Outsourcing like Accenture with EPAM?

Answer 1

rallies, huge open spaces, bureaucracy and corporate schizophrenia do not depend on a niche in any way.
they depend solely on each particular company.

Answer 2

Bureaucracy is good and good . Do you want bureaucracy? Well, then the manager (and, concurrently, a friend of the director of the company), coming up to your workplace, sitting on the table with his ass, will say - "well, you do it .. fix it there .. there is work for 5 minutes, why do it if - millet needs to be put ... " and after 5 minutes you will forget everything he said, because it is not documented or described anywhere. A day later, the local king-chief will call you to the carpet and ask why it has not been done. I described the real situation from my practice.

Are there any niches in programming where there are no rallies, huge open spaces ..

Everything is known by poking. And nothing else.

Perhaps the sphere somehow affects the presence of all this.

Exactly. All these problems are because the industry itself is very toxic , just like the people in it. All this madhouse is not inherent in companies with a different form of activity. It’s hard for me to imagine that in some, for example, a transport company engaged in the transportation of goods, simple hard workers from a warehouse and girls from local offices would be forced to sing and clap their hands. It's just that IT people are terrified for life.

Answer 3

There is.
Freelance. Small teams. State offices, where "tyzhprogrammer". But there are other problems. Some of them described the Northern Lights - and this is actually a real situation. The other part is bad pay, problems with shopping malls, possible scammers, etc. (I'm not talking about working on a pirate - but this is a pure admin problem)

There is. In my personal project, for example.

Answer 5

I have been working in the Tinkoff Group of Companies for about a year, before that I also worked in various other large companies. There are rallies everywhere and there is nothing wrong with that, synchronization and bureaucracy, for large companies and distributed teams, does much more good than harm.
All kinds of events are useful and not very organized, and again there is nothing wrong with that, no one forces you to go to them. We do not sing a hymn to the glory of the Company, there is no propaganda either.
If you speak at a conference, then you need to speak on behalf of the company, but on the whole it is logical that you show and talk about your work achievements and successes, but again, no one is forcibly sent to the conference, the whole thing is voluntary.
There is no dress code, walking around the office in shorts will not be acceptable, but this should be clear even without a dress code.
On the stack, we have a lot of pythonists in our team. I haven’t heard of ruby, but if you look, then someone writes something on it.
