>Working on boring, crappy projects for a living is just killing me, and you never know until you get on the job. How do you deal with this?
I deal with it by choosing not to work on crappy projects.
If a company or the project they want you to work on is crappy, don't choose them!
There aren't many non-crappy tech jobs in my neck of the woods, so I branched out on my own.
I do the odd consulting gig if you're a small company who has a few technical problems and want to pay to fix them ASAP.
And I work on my own projects in the meanwhile... websites... saas... working on an algorithmic trading bot right now.
It's working out OK.
Yoga helps fill the downtime between ideas... and is really helpful at generating new ones I find.
In fact, I just had an amazing idea on the way home from practice earlier today that I should really get working on!
Or hey, perhaps programming just isn't your thing and you've finally realized that. It's not for everybody.
It's a tough world out there, but you're doing the right thing by asking questions and trying to change yours.
Take care now.
Chin up!
