Coding is hell in the wrong environment. Requirements always changing, not being allowed to go back and fix or improve things...

  > Requirements always changing, not being allowed to go back and fix or improve things... This resonates with me. Working in a startup environment is fun and scrapy, but when you're never able to go back and improve what you did because "we barely care about that feature anymore" it becomes pretty frustrating. Building features that only a handful of people use is also soul draining.

  Coding feels like that art game kids do where each person paints a part of a picture without seeing what any of the other kids are doing. The main difference is that with code management will give the end results to customers who will complain a lot if the parts don't fit well together. So instead of learning to become an artist you learn to do as boring work as possible to match what every other developer is doing. It is sad to see when some here considers that state to be the true peak of this craft.
