As I said in the other thread, I love what I do, but I don't do it for free or for the company. I do it for the paycheck.
When I worked as a developer, I did take great pride in my work and my coding... Until I wasn't able to.
Until deadlines came and I needed sleep
Until I needed work-life balance
Until my code would be broken by improper inheritance or calls to poorly written methods that were created by my coworkers
Until I noticed I was spending as much time doing documentation as I was writing code
Until a step-through debug and a few recompiles could account for half my day
Until the changes I wanted to implement were denied by my boss at the morning meetings
Until the production server would crash
Until my coworkers would push updated repositories that broke my code (dont ask me how)
Until my boss didn't care about anything I just mentioned as long as I "got it done"
Nah I don't work for fun, I have my hobbies for that. I worked knowing that I would be getting paid and that's all
