Dev is not frustrated technically because he/she is a dev and loves/breathes technical things. Dev is a dev by choice; not by force.

Few instances from my experience(working in IT services).

  1. Technology decision is made by 2 people playing golf and the dev has to support it.
  2. Decisions are political rather than technical and dev has to support it and live with it.
  3. A person (read PM) who has no idea on how the code works makes presentation on system he/she didnโ€™t develop. On top of that he wants to sound like an authority. Dev has to prepare/support him/her in his/her presentation and watch it in pain (smiling externally).
  4. Provide โ€œroughโ€/โ€œballparkโ€ estimate in 5 mins. Why ask for estimate if you already have a deadline?
  5. Accommodate so called โ€œsmallโ€ change and still adhere to the deadlines
  6. A non-IT person comes and tells you how to implement something. He/she may not understand the nuances of development but just want to make sure that his/her unwanted presence is felt!
