I dream about it everyday.

I love building software, but I can't stand working in the industry.

It's such an unholy combination of bad corporate culture and questionable moral principals.

None of that is specific to this industry. It’s far worse in others. Grass always looks greener elsewhere

Yeah my job sucks shit too, I just make 1/3rd as much as MANGO software engineers.

Should’ve learned to program. At least writing python scripts with Claude has automated a lot of my job away.

Anyway, there’s a support group for your shitty job, it’s called the bar, and we meet daily.

Came here to say exactly this.

If people don't like building tech that's one thing.

But the problems most of this thread are discussing are just people and organizational problems.

If you want to live and make money you're probably going to have to put up with some level of bullshit.

Find the company with the least of it and enjoy the rest.

When it comes to the shit imposed to the rest of society, and the shit imposed on office workers, it's worse in this industry.

		I'd challenge you to point out specifics that are industry wide, not just one company that happens to abuse its employees.
