I actually quite enjoy my job. I still have side projects that I also enjoy, but my job is wonderful along with the company I work for. Also, this stuff: "I didn't care how my code read, or if it was maintainable, or if it was DRY, or if it was tested, or how long it'd take me to write, or if features were separated into logical chunks" Right at the beginning is where you lost me, because even when I was in grade school, I still made my code maintainable and separated into logical chunks because I had to read and maintain it whenever I got a chance to get back to it. My side projects are all built with these things in mind. It is good that you have decided that coding isn't the right career for you, but I wonder what is? I would also be careful of making harsh public criticisms of your employer. It's easy to figure out where you work, and these are the types of concerns that your employer should be able to work with you to address. Best of luck.
