Are you having existential questions about being a software engineer?

Stuff like…

• Daily standups where coworkers' status updates are ten minutes long

• Bug tickets with nothing but "Thing X doesn't work" as their only description

• Insecure coworkers whose level of self-esteem seems to depend on how big of a douche they can be

• The tendency for so many organization's codebases to be low-quality, technical debt-ridden, big balls of mud

• …

Stuff like that makes me ask myself the question, "Isn't life too short to have to deal with this for ANY amount of money?"
