    Programmer. I just fucking hate writing code. Also working with stupid frameworks and having to keep up with whatever new bullshit framework or feature people want implemented would drive me insane. I would crash out if asked to implement MCP into our app.

      I was a web developer for a few years, WordPress killed the joy I had. Every update could break something because the client wanted a website, but also wanted to use WordPress, so we had to customize the hell out of each install.

      I burned out about 5 years ago, and I haven’t even been able to work on my side projects.

      I pretty much lived your comment. Working retail now, probably wouldn’t go back…

      100% agreed. I do a lot of coding as part of my job, and that is enjoyable because I don’t have to worry about whatever latest programming paradigm “everyone” uses.

      My code is meant to just deal with minutia in the background and never be interacted with, and it’s rarely even seen by others than myself. Which is probably good, because my language of choice is perl.
