Working software in a place that isn't mainly software is actually really great. I write the internal systems and occasionally work on the customer-facing websites and applications at a small local manufacturing company. Definitely better than my first job in RPA where I was constantly on a call with an uptight customer that gave vague descriptions of what they wanted, that then got upset when they had to call us 4 more times to fix what we built to their bad description. And it was nonstop crunch. No slowdown time in between customers and implementations. Just immediately on to the next one. Definitely painful.
