I hate my software development job
When I started to learn programming as a teenager, I absolutely fell in love with it. And I still love it, it's my passion.
But I hate my job. The spaghetti codebases I work on are hot garbage. Our products are ugly and barely functional. Endlessly chasing bugs is genuinely soul crushing. Sometimes I spend more time having to manage and organize my work than actually doing it. And the more I learn about this industry, the more I despise it.
Some people say that software development is great for people with ADHD, but I'm starting to have my doubts. Recreational programming? Absolutely. But working in this industry is so draining.
Can anyone else relate? I'm not sure where to go from here. I spent years torturing myself through university only to end up like this. It would be silly to do something else at this point, but a part of me just wants to run and leave all of this behind.
