Whatever happened to programming?
Now I understand why I was so disappointed when trying programming as work, and more specifically, at the current place of work.
I thought coding would be what he calls "Phase One". It turned out to be mostly "Phase Two". Or as I wrote in my own log file, in either semi-lyrical or cranky formatting style (take your pick!):
The Phase Two work is uninteresting,
and when I get to the actual interesting Phase One,
my creative inclinations clash too much with that of my boss.
So all I have got is
Phase Two (which is uninteresting),
and warped Phase One (which is a pain).
(And by "a pain" I mean that I get told to make a car, and then the boss goes through my car with a welding kit because it doesn't look enough like a Lotus; and then he tells me to draw a picture, and afterwards paints mustaches on everybody in that picture. This is not a good way to encourage creativity.)
