It does sometimes, especially when one has to make pindaric flights in the code to have things work like desired and not like someone thought they should work.
The actual frustration is given by:
- dumb coworkers;
- dumb managenment;
- dumb customers;
- dumb tech support;
- dumb technology;
- dumb forum answers when advice is needed (e.g. "That technology is not more supported, change it.". Yes big genius, as if there is no cost in doing it.).

Our manager would like to change it - but we are 2 teams of 2 perople working full time on all the new projects he push unto us - prjects without planning, management and budget. He sold several entirely new machines without even having the mechanical drawings and electrical designs but already with pressing deadlines - basicalle nobody knew anything of the machine we were to develop for, and he persists with at least one project like this / year.
The more projects he creates the bigger becomes our code base the harded becomes changing everything. Since I'm the youn one of my team I usually rewrite things in a way they become reusable while my tutor holds the front of the day-to-day work, but sometimes there is just too much manure for a single shovel.

That's the easiest way to make me want to just flip my desk over. When someone replies "Well, why would you do that?" without giving a solution, I assume it's because they don't even know where to being.

As others have already mentioned, external events, and things, can make the "job" frustrating.

... but holes in documentation, particularly system api's, have had me cursing on many occasions over the decades.

I find JavaScript annoying, it seems you have forgotten to mention it.

I think JavaScript is even more annoying.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Yes, please. You didn't mention Javascript.

What especially frustrates me is code which appears right, but isn't. Usually small things... when the brain reads it very fast, it sees it as being right... A similar experience as writing a sentence with only the first and last letters matching, where you can read the whole sentence. I read over the code multiple times not finding anything wrong with it... eventually I start doubting my own logic and fixing things not really broken. The frustration usually helps my problem solving as when I hit my f'et switch is usually the point when I solve the problem. Weird, but that is how it works for me. The f'et switch is usually the point where I gather all the information I've gathered in the frustrating journey and try the thing I haven't which is usually the problem... But it happens in a moment, all things come together at once. Its like taking a really deep thought filtering though all the gathered info searching for what is missing. That has its rewards in it self.

But on the other side programmers do frustrate me very often
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Missing option: BACON
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think it was a missing option rather than the question was asked wrong.
It should be: What is your favourite medicine besides bacon?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe you could use a CListCtrl to present that option.
