Software is Hard

Retirei o trecho abaixo do blog de um dos desenvolvedores do Firebug (Jan Odvarko):

"I often feel like an artist when making a software. There are always so many ways how to do it and I need to have good imagination when building the virtual world of classes, objects, methods and all the other things, which are available in particular computer language."

So You Don't Want to be a Programmer After All

I finished a computer science degree last year, worked about a year in the Java EE stack. I liked requirements engineering and more 'management stuff' in university, but let's face it: you tend to be driven to be a programmer. I enjoy programming itself. I'm not doing it that badly, I even do it better than some people. But it's too frustrating. Stupidly complex stuff (that people consider "standard" even if it's extremely complicated!), fighting against the computer, dumb errors, configuration, and stuff that people even worse than me implemented and I have to take care of. New stuff which is supposed to be incredibly easy, and it's just one more framework.
I think I realized I don't want to program because I landed at a company where people are quite good. And I honestly think I won't achieve that level, ever. And I don't enjoy programming as a hobby.
I'm sure that I'm good enough to be able to make a living continuing as I am … but I don't want to.
