> imagine actually liking to write software I assumed you were being sarcastic, but re-reading your post and looking at the replies, I guess you're being serious here - I do actually like writing software. I'm not pretending or fooling myself - besides playing music and raising vegetables it's one of the few SFW activities I actually enjoy. I tolerate meetings because they're part of the price to get to write software and actually get paid to do it. What I don't enjoy are the unreasonable expectations around how long things ought to take or how predictable software development ought to be.
