I like programming. I like architecting. I like ops. I like putting things together and seeing them working. All the things that make me good at me job, the technical side, I like this. It's the projects I don't enjoy, where I have to take a technical implementation and make it ready for the user. It's the maintenance of projects. Adding in features that were never supposed to exist. Butchering code because of deadlines. Working with other developers who really don't care, and don't read documentation, and don't try to understand things. It's explaining why we shouldn't do something a certain way, or why we should, to someone who doesn't care or doesn't understand.
The thing I don't like is everything that got added on when I turned my hobby into my profession. But it's all that stuff which is the reason why my family live the way we do.
I'd be happy doing something I truly believed in, but at least I'm not working in a mechanics garage in mid winter for national minimum wage.
