It's horrible and I wish I'd kept programming as a hobby. The continual 'evolution' is ridiculous, as we build and rebuild the same things with newer tools. Often project management is more important than building things and build tools became an obsession as more layers started to come between writing code and seeing results. Agile, TDD, Testing, Design Patterns are all topics that muddied the waters. And with people on both sides of the fence with these practices, it gets very tiring and you just want to find refuge outside of it all. A place where the tools don't change each year and a half, or where the best practices can easily be agreed upon.
Yes, it gets old and I can't wait to retire.
