"This became incredibly depressing. Everyday you show up to work putting in more and more hours into something that comes back with more and more complaints. It was hell and I did everything I could to end Complaint-Driven Development to no avail because thats how the customer liked to work. Eventually I finally just gave up and left to find something more rewarding and less soul crushing" My current gig is very customer-driven and we hire a number of PMs to handle and incorporate the feedback. Our customers love us because the alternative is a particularly stodgy, poorly performing and relatively unchanging product. With end-users, yes. The flood of complaints and the complaints about the fixes for the complaints and on and on can be soulcrushing. Finding a niche who loves you and your product is hopefully possible.
