Not what you’re asking for but related. I’ve always found programming interesting. It’s possibly one of neatest ways to figure things out with computation. But early on I got the impression the profession was abusive - maybe inherently. I got fired from my first programming job for prioritizing finishing high school over a programming job. I dabbled after that and every project related to computers had this “natural” way of feeling like something I have to do “now” - even if it meant not sleeping. Then I saw the cs majors I knew in college doing the same. I heard about the industry being the same way. Not only that, most programming work was downright boring to the point of tedious. CRUD apps, basically everywhere. Nothing ever very original. Maybe it’s different now, but it sure doesn’t look like it’s progressed very far over the years.
