I have a love-hate relationship with my job. I love what I do, and essentially go home every evening to develop myself further so that the next day, I can do even a better job. I love it to a point where everything else is secondary to being better at what I do On the flip side, there are moments when given certain tasks I absolutely hate it. I think it has to do with my vision of what a perfect environment ought to be, and anything that does not fit that mold is something I despise. I truly believe software development is an art, and it ought to be treated as such. Add to that, I am somewhat of a purist, and like things done in a particular manner, and the fact that resource constraints don't help in that regard frustrate me. At the end of the day, I (think) would be doing what I do, as long as I feel I am being adequately compensated for it, both personally (in terms of my own growth) and professionally (yeah, pay check size does matter :D)
