I would also argue that writing code is a grind. I would enjoy writing code maybe 2-4 hours a day tops but when you want to get something done and code for 7 hours straight it is really tough to do.
Learning new concepts all the time, emotional waves, errors that can impact companies on a large scale. Programming is really difficult and requires constant engagement in the industry.
- sigi45 8y agoYes its work. But you know what is also work? Cleaning shit from others the whole day. I also can imagine selling stuff is draining or catering for others. I'm valuated more because i'm more needed and a company can make more money with me than without me. This still doesn't make it fair.

- malvosenior 8y agoMaybe, maybe not (I know I didn't have all of those things). It's undeniable they had to work hard to become good programmers though.
