It used to be a great job then they sucked all the fun out of it. Mostly because the management had no technical capabilities and asked for crap to be made fast. Then complained it was crap. Which of course we told them it would be before the project started. But what does a software engineer know?

I used to tell my boss "You want it bad, you get it bad."

Had one project designed in the 90's that I worked on that came in a few months late, mostly because of all the changes so I got a bad review. The next year I got a good review because the final product was so useful. It was basically an extremely fast data mining tool that was still in use when I retired three years ago. Of course, they were talking about rewriting it to modernize it, but knew that their new product would not be a flexible as mine. Going backwards to use the crap software available now.
