This is exactly why I can't work at a job in the industry.
I work on my own code ([1], comments at [2]), and it is exactly why I do this; I wouldn't enjoy it otherwise.
For me, I just decided to forego jobs and work on my code the way I want to until I eventually make a business out of it. Or to keep it as a hobby and do something else as a job. (I have a CDL for this reason.)
I don't know if that will work for you. But something else might.

- lampshades 4y agoHow do you sustain yourself in the meantime? Or do you already have a business?
- TacoSteemers 4y agoFrom his comment it sounds like he does jobs driving commercial vehicles (such as trucks or passenger transport). I got this from the mention of a "CDL", commercial driving license.
- gavinhoward 4y agoThat's just my backup plan. My wife is currently the breadwinner, and I'm the housekeeper, gardener, handyman, etc.

- gavinhoward 4y agoHeh, it's not as great for me. It's actually depressing for me that my wife is the breadwinner. I want to be able to do something.
