climate, webdev, rant, looking for something else
I hate my web developer job. No time for unit testing, no time for documentation, no time for creativity or nice algorithms.
Just use whatever trendy JS {front,back}end framework, ship high bandwidth, heavy, soulless sites in no time.
The mere consciousness of it from my colleagues are jokes between two crypto bs talks. The climate catastrophes ahead are literally a joke to them.
I hate that I contribute to this and I want out.
Does anyone here have experience going from this kind of job to a more engineering-focused, ethical one? Tips? Interesting reads? I'd love to hear about it!
Boosts are appreciated!

I would stick with what you have while you learn new skills, you are in employment and get a regular pay (I am guessing there a bit)
Keep an eye out for jobs on here or elsewhere,m I would laso guess the less your current employer knows you want out the better (they may use it as an excuse to sack you)
Perhaps others can offer more useful advice but good luck I am sure there is something out there for you.

@zleap Your guesses are right! I'm often contemplating running away but this is too risky, also we share that perspective on keeping boss at distance! Thank you for this wholesome answer!
