New comment by gaius in "Ask HN: How to handle being sidelined gracefully?"

He has worked there much longer than myself yet he ends up with most of the drudge work. Instead of working on cool full-stack JS PWAs and SPAs he is stuck putting content on WordPress sites and fixing WP plugins

Your friend’s mistake is that he is too professional, doing the work that needs doing and pays everyone else’s salaries, while other more selfish people prioritise getting some more buzzwords on their CV. I have fallen victim to this mentality myself. It may be too late if he has been typecast, he’ll need to reboot by going somewhere else. But it’s a sad state of affairs that being conscientious is a career killer.
