I laughed as I read this because I imagined many of my coworkers reading right along with me saying, "yup, that's you. And there too... Wow did someone who worked here write this?"
Spawned quite the self reflection. Until you covered the motivation. I'm not trying to prove anything, and would actually love the coding company. But not too many care as much. For me, coding is a love as well as a career choice, so work life balance may be stilted sure, but it's not work for me. It's a problem to solve, and I enjoy it. I do get frustrated by lack of recognition, but I think for some, the bar raises where recognition of accomplishments become relative to who created them. Save the day, um thanks. Someone else creates a report, wow! Great report!!! Lol.
It is frustrating, but I've consoled myself that I'm here for the experience, not the accolades. I do get a lot done in an environment where not too many others want to do this. But I do have to be less Superman and more Clark Kent so superego does turn me into Lex Luthor.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
