- Now? Now I realize that more than programming, you have to be passionate about the product.
- People who can code in the world of technology companies are a dime a dozen and get no respect. People who can code in biology, medicine, government, sociology, physics, history, and mathematics are respected and can do amazing things to advance those disciplines.
- Step 1: Note the things you choose to do, even when you're not being paid to do them. Step 2: Figure out how to get paid to do one or more of the things you noted in Step 1. Step 3: Enjoy your life.
- Don't sweat the small stuff (and everything is small stuff). Look at the big picture. If you like participating in your work, you like being part of a solution, you have passion for it 51% of the time, and you are still interested in doing it "better" - that is the best you can expect. That is what is human.
- Bottom line, before you give up coding, consider a change of working environment.
