Dude is burnt out in 6 years? I've been doing it 25+ professionally and still love it, started as a kid writing basic with the line numbers.

Cool, how much of your 25 years was to "write test automation to test the front end" full time?

This guy is in his 3th job after 6 years - so job-hopping every 2 years (as per the current programmer-job-meta. - ) trying to find the right job that fits him - but obviously he hopped into a disaster of a job. Its a personal anecdote of his experience so far.

If you have 25+ years of experience, but you can't relate at all to what he's experiencing, then this guy already has more experience than you do
