I recently talked to a good friend, who said: 'the industry doesn't matter, what I care about are the technical challenges' (when I asked if he enjoyes working in that industry).
I can understand the logic behind it, but I just can't agree. Learning about the business & industry not only makes you a better developer (for your current company), it's also a unique opportunity for you to learn. I enjoy talking to developers in other AgTech startups, about the shared problems our companies face.
I'm with you there, I've really enjoyed learning about the different industries that I've worked in. I've also loved learning about the different parts of the business be that sales, marketing, legal or finance.
