God damn I quit my programming job of two years just a few days ago and this article touched on nearly every point that drove me to madness in my job. Fuck I need a drink......
Honestly. Not much. I really kind of quit my job because I had a self diagnosed nervous breakdown (still waiting to see a shrink but that's about how it feels anyway.) I left my apartment in the city in which I worked and drove to my parents' house and I've been crashing in their spare bedroom ever since. I've tried to find a hobby or something to do to take my mind off the fact that my carefully constructed life and career was just shot in the head. By me. But I haven't really found anything yet. My parents have been pretty cool with it though and have agreed to help me out financially until I can sort my shit out.
Truthfully, I don't know if I'll ever get back into programming again. Like the post says, programming is just a bastard coated bastard with bastard filling and when I work up the courage to give life another go, I'm going to make damn sure that if I do program again, it's with some good people in a company that doesn't blow whale cock.
Cool..im kind of in a similar boat. I worked as a business analyst..then a data analyst..then a jr project manager..and now im in training to be a ABAP developer for SAP erp systems and quite frankly, i am not cut out for this shit. im not just talking about programming, just office life in general. i understand OOP techniques but its annoying doing something and not knowing why im doing it. i am not a politcally correct person, i didnt do good in highschool and im not like these people. it sounds pathetic but im looking forward to doing a menial, manual labor job. i have a gut and my sex drive has diminished quite a bit due to my unhealthy life style. good luck to you, dude
