Things I hate about working as a software developer

Most of the time, if you ask questions or just expose your train of thought on a matter, people will shit on you. It’s a job where I never felt free to show that I might not know something. Either they assume you are dumb (when in fact you just… have a different technical background), either they do not care. Engine developers or C++ developers in general that are agressive towards webdev, tools dev, gameplay dev..

Sitting all day..

The project manager that do not understand your job and do not assign remotely enough work to you to fill the sprint, yet you cannot tell him that or you will get punished with more shit work, so you just stare at the screen half day to fill the blanks..

Not being able to talk about specific of your job to friends or relatives as they just don’t get anything you’re talking about ..

Pay is good yeah, but hell.. My life is boring as fuck
