How I ended up with circular dependencies between my Angular modules, and how inverting the configuration flow — tell, don't ask — fixed it.

Never believe unhappiness at work can be fixed by a pay rise — the best part of some jobs was letting go and moving on.

Two big pieces of work, both approached the same way: start with a small proof of concept and grow it through a series of mini-projects.
