> And what's the point of spending most of your life doing work that sucks so that others can hate their job too?
I mean in my case i'd be absolutely fine doing work that sucks infinitely if that means that my users are happy. It really drives me crazy all the discourse I've seen over the years about devs that care about their own quality of life/job. Like, no, the only thing that should matter to you is your users, no matter the job. If what makes them genuinely happy is for you to take dirt out of a hole and put it back, and on top of this you get paid, we live in completely different planets if you don't rush to the nearest shovel.
