      There are levels to programming.

      It’s fun to solve simple problems effortlessly. It’s fun to solve hard problems after banging your head against the wall for a week

      Simple problems that require a lot of code are not fun. Neither are medium problems that require a lot of code. Herd problems that require a lot of code fill me with joy.

      Programming is like an abusive relationship. Mostly days it just hurts you. But when it’s good it’s great… It doesn’t just give you the satisfaction of a job well done, it expands you mind

      All my problems with programming stem from when I have to work with shitty specifications, bugfixes from bitchy QA people, and management. Alas, this pays the bills.

      When I can do my own thing at my own leisure, against my own standards and unit and behavior tests of my own design, I am happy.

    JP devs are infamous for their software and UIs, can’t imagine she likes her job if it’s a typical JP software job.

    That being said coding is lots of fun. Far more fun than staring at spreadsheets or typing legal documents, or doing any field work.

      The sensory overload I get every time I visit a Japanese website. Rakuten legitimately made me tear up in terror the first time I had to use it, I don’t even wanna know what working the backend entails.

        I tried to unsubscribe from a mailing list and they had the audacity to reply to me and say “you cannot unsubscribe from this method” (there was no other listed method) immediate block list in email.
