> the business-driven engineering that 95% of us have to contend with is mind-rotting. Spending a week debugging someone else's VibratorVisitorFactory method, or figuring out what the fuck some ORM is doing, just causes atrophy This is the dirty little secret of corporate IT departments, that 95% of the workload is cleaning up other people's messes. The "engineers" promote themselves into the work "designing" and "creating" new systems, then use that "experience" to get a job doing the same somewhere else. Then the "programmers" come along and actually make those new systems work, spending 3 months debugging, then 3 years on after-hours standby support.
