No one wants to build things, it's all administration masquerading as development. Back before I gave up on life in general I used to program in my free time because I really wasn't doing much of it at work.

It's frustrating.

"High job dissatisfaction among developers. Approximately 80% of developers express dissatisfaction with their jobs, with one-third actively hating their work. Many report feeling pressured to meet unrealistic deadlines, leading to burnout. Despite good salaries and flexible work options, the stress of technical debt and complex tech stacks contributes significantly to their unhappiness."

This is exactly my issue. But I also know that similar issues happen with other careers. Work is work that is why we get paid. Does anyone have any advice on how to lessen the pain, for lack of other words?
