Limetouch shares what he hates about programming. Shotgun follows with a blog post sharing his take. Now, it is my turn.
Here is what I really hate about programming - it is impossible to share the satisfaction of what I do with my gf. I can spend a day trying to fix a critical bug and gain immense satisfaction from it but I cannot share that with my gf. Over the phone, she asks me, “How was your day?”. What can I say? I have a wonderful company with zero politics or at least there is nothing I am aware of. I enjoy working with the mates in my team. I got a wonderful office to work in with an awesome view of the sea. Only thing I can really complain about is the code I need to write.
So how do I tell my gf this:
Oh…you know, the team faced an issue together with trying to figure out why we couldn’t get the correct calculated values from a certain set of data. Oh..then we realized that we were coding our interfaces and abstract classes all wrongly which was leading to confusion when extending the classes and implementing the interfaces. Some…blah blah blah… We realized the database structure was not extensible and blah blah blah.
Seriously, damn unsexy.
Heng I got gf already. Imagine dating and having to tell your date about your job.
Minus 10000 points straight away.
