The actual work is something that we can control. Since I love coding, the programming part is a joy!

But as developers we still have to contend with the non-coding part of our jobs. Meetings, documentation, collaborating with coworkers.

I think this is the part where developers might find friction with. Sometimes they get dragged to endless meetings. Sometimes they have to contend with all-day or multi-day non coding tasks. Or they work in a toxic environment.

Still, we are still lucky. I think coding is a creative work and like other creative types, really enjoy what we do.
