Time for management
Hell no. I did that once, my team nearly rioted. It wasn't my fault though, it was upper management doing bone headed shit. I'm far too unprofessional and worker- sided to be a manager.

Tell me your issues

My current job has devolved into a Kanban of "customer says our app isn't working, fix it." Where the ticket is a copy paste of 1 email and no validation or recreate. Or my personal favorite: build this integration for a desktop product that we don't have a license for or a partnership with. Oh and don't tell the client that we don't have the software.

The job before this was aimless, and an endless churn of managers and designers who couldn't find a direction for our product so we just mostly twiddled our thumbs with no meaningful tasks from product.

I'm at the point where it feels so aimless and boring that I'd rather do manual labor because at least then I have a reason to feel like shit at the end of the day.

That sounds like my old job dealing with customer issues. But usually they would provide screenshots of their errors, so it wasn't as bad as this. My job now is much better. There's places that aren't like this fortunately.

Yeah. My first job was great, except I was drastically under paid and the owner brought in a bunch of cronies that destroyed the processes we had been working on. Everyone quit there.

It took me like 5 attempts before I found a programming job where I felt like I was programming something that actually had a point

unfortunately, software is used almost everywhere. also unfortunately, a significant amount of what people do is extremely pointless. putting the two together, most software development is extremely pointless
THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!! THERES SO MUCH PEOPLE READING AND POSTING STUIPED STUFF
