Ask HN: How do you manage in this job?

2 pointsqthrowayq09093y ago1 comments

It might be me getting older but I'm at the point where I despise everything about this line of work (SW Dev et all).

Politics, repressed anger, more politics and the feeling that I'm never going to be enough.

Been doing that for 16 years now and it feels like 10 years too many at this point.

How do you manage to go on?

I’ve had a few different dev jobs in that time. Some are better, some are worse.
