~~This article makes the case that corporate programming sucks.~~

Yeah, programming sucks, but there are many things I love about it, most of all that human interaction is minimal and it's relatively well-paid.

The most frustrating thing to me about programming is that there's always a problem that crops up in the code you use. Bugs are a part of programming, but nearly every project I've worked on or started and used third-party code was slowed down, trying to figure out why that dependency wasn't doing what it should've been. It's great that it existed in the first place, but sometimes you run into one that has to be rewritten in order to work thus becoming your new project 😢
