I've been coding professionally for 40 years and especially don't care for how the management of software projects has evolved. Rather than design, I've seen the emphasis shift to process and testing, necessarily in the guise of 'agile' even when the design goals don't fit well with the agile manifest (like ML or scientific programming). The inability of IT management to imagine an approach to software other than "one size fits all" has left me increasingly disengaged in work that used to be fun every day. Of course, the shift in the past few decades from coding-from-scratch to cut-and-paste has also pushed me out of the 'flow' of slinging code that I long enjoyed. So maybe the insistent adoption by management of agile-oriented groupthink and processes should be a clear message to me that resistance is futile, and it's time for me to make way for devs who are happy to play a game whose rules have changed, one that I no longer enjoy as I once did.
