Downvote away. Now, I don't dislike programming. As far as jobs go, it's definitely on the better side. But there's a lot of things I'd rather be doing with my time most of the time.
- mattquiros 13y agoNope, won't downvote, because depending on the team you're working with, you're right. I work in a company where I started off following the author's suggested actions for becoming a great software developer. However, I still ended up being the difficult co-worker, the "dressage horse" as the author put it. Just because I strongly felt about using classes instead of putting an object's attributes in a single, vertical bar-delimited string. It works, they say, and I'm over-engineering. Of course my problem is about not being a good fit with the way the majority of the team chooses to work and build software and perhaps the solution is to just get the fuck out ASAP before I'm used to the mediocrity and acquire it. But the working relations definitely got smoother when I kept my mouth shut and just thought of the paycheck and used my time to go to the gym instead of refactoring their code.
