Question

I am working on a support java project, which was fully developed years ago and now in maintenance phase. I just completed one year in it but don’t feels like I gain any technical skill. We spent most of the time in checking server logs and making minor changes.
As now a days most of the project are in maintenance phase it’s really difficult to get core development work. So how can I improve my technical skills while working in support?

Answer 1

Maybe you see the code right, try to optimize the code in some parts, work on adding additional functionality and stuff. You could try freelancing to improve these skills, if you cant do it at work.
