I like to create things or improve existing things. Coding promises the ability to achieve this with very little effort, just by typing a few lines. There are almost no material restrictions as in other areas, just available memory and calculation speed.
In practice however, most of the time it seems that this promise is not kept. But this is mostly because of things that are outside the actual coding, like
unclear or conflicting requirements,
poorly documented or buggy systems your code has to interact with.
So after more than 20 years of coding professionally, it is still the favourite part of my work.
Yeah, at first you have this beautiful and cute pet as you start the project. But the more the requirements the more the complexity there is, and based on my experience I had to deal with adding this nasty "band-aids" to our codebase.

This is awesome!
I've just realized that I need more energy and passion to reach this kind of experience.
Thanks! :)
