Leaving the field won't help, the whole damn world sucks.
You have to accept that there's no perfect alternative out there, you won't tomorrow magically find a system with no flaws, and system design is hard because the world is constantly changing and you don't have perfect information. If you just chase "something better" because you can't accept things, you'll continue to be disappointed.
Once you accept it, you can start trying to make your little corner of the world better. Not perfect, but better. It's more satisfying than shouting into the void.
- finnthehuman 7y agoThank you. I think I sounded too pessimistic in the grandparent post but you saw where I was coming from. There's always more work to do. On almost everything. As a former co-worker liked to say: If it wasn't hard, they wouldn't pay us to do it.
