That’s the thing I think I’ve learned the most over my 30 years of IT Career:
Coding is a lot of things and very little of it is actually coding.
Probably 10% of your time (if that).

I remember writing little C/C++ console programs that processed a text file or some little thing, and absolutely bristling with energy and excitement as I dreamed of programming for a career.

And go back to the K&R C book and look at those beautiful little programs. So exciting and fun.

But then it all gets buried under
* Meetings
* “Architecture”
* Patterns
* Agile Scrum and grooming backlogs
* Email explanations
* Dependency Injection Containers (only if you used them do you know the hidden code and magic and ugly debugging)
* Documentation
* OOP Design
* bug hunting & fixing

All the fun gets buried under the business somewhere
I love some good old fashioned coding, start typing the thing up and let’s see what we can get working Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
But it don’t pay Laugh | :laugh:
