> Have you ever thought of X?” > “Cool! Yes, but there’s 12 other things we thought should come first. You’re welcome to go and do it. We’ve got a big tent and a lot of shit to clean underneath.” > “Actually, can’t help, gotta take my dog to therapy, bye!” This part especially is so familiar. It tends to get emotionally pretty exhausting, when you've put in countless hours to make so many things good, only to get constantly reminded that the not-as-important problems that were scoped out for the time being, are bad. In software under active development there is never a shortage of things that could be improved, especially wrt developer experience. It is very hard not to take personally the whining – especially when it typically comes with very, very little actual effort to make it better. Because I know this pain so well, I only make these kinds of "suggestions" when I know I can commit the hours to make at least a PoC of what I'm suggesting.
