Does it not bring you any pleasure for your users to find your work valuable ?
We could all just sit at home and write code all day. but without users there is no point.
The situation describe in the OP is a result of a poor management culture, which is why it's there.

Speaking for myself, my motivation always comes from myself, never from what others think of my work. The users/paying customers aren't the point, at best they are an enabler, allowing me to spend more time coding that I would otherwise have to waste by having a non-coding job.
- PeachPlum 9y agoI do totally understand that motivation, coding is enjoyable. I have lots of code on github that I wrote that no-one has ever run since the time I checked it in once it worked. But the PHP code I wrote that was getting 1m pageviews a month gave more of a sense of achievement than my clever raytracer.
