Development is a nightmare for me when I have to develop someone else's (i.e. my company) idea. At that point, it's not creation anymore, it's execution.

Article is named "Delight of Development" but of course the author is "not a developer anymore".
>My focus now is less on building software myself, and more about enabling others build better software.
Translation: I don't produce anything but lord it over people who do. What the hell is "Developer Relations"? Has the industry gone mad?
Most of us got into programming because we enjoyed it; until the "Industry" with its useless "managemeent" layers destroyed our motivation/enjoyment of it and turned us into unhappy drones.

I'd assume the majority of developers is not doing coding at home, as long as they don't have to learn a new skill for their next job. They neither hate nor love coding, they tolerate it as a means to an end.
I also assume that those developers rise as much through the ranks as the love coding kind. At least that's my observation so far. Or to be more precise, I belive they more of the not loving kind rise through the ranks.
But it's rare hearing from them. They don't care too much about what they do at work, at least not as a trade, hence no blogging. And we all feel that it's unwise to be open about not being pashioned about your work.

I was surprised by this sentence:
> My measure for a well tested system? One that lets you deploy at 5pm on a Friday before confidently heading to the pub for a few pints with the team that just shipped.
It feels... optimistic.
