I am forced to use tools, languages/frameworks that are inferior and very slow and cumbersome. It feels like I'm always forced to hop on one leg, when I could simply just run and get where I need to go orders of magnitude faster. Every single ticket I get, I just immediately see for my mind's eye: a couple of tables, and a couple of queries. And sometimes if it's something really weird, I see 5-10 lines of shell script. But I'm "not allowed" to use those tools, and instead I have to use ORM, Object Oriented Data Model, different JSON translation operations, grotesque frameworks and in the end spend three weeks of very frustrating wasteful work, trying to coerce these humongous tools to achieve the simple feature, that would have just been three days of easy pleasant work if I was "allowed" to use a database. I worked in a bank in 2006 and we used VB6 to create CRUD based apps in no time, which were super stable, fast and responsive. Just a simple MVC stack, query the database, get recordsets, render a view. This was a really simple task back then. Now it takes ages and so so much work and effort to create an equivalent web based app, which is always slow and buggy, and the work is mainly incredibly frustrating trying to reverse-engineer and figure out some inane "smart" logic in a framework, that tries (and fails) to automate a task that was already very simple and quick, and didn't need automating at all.
