What an absolutely cringe article, jesus christ almighty.

Edit: Literally the BEST decision I made was to become a programmer. Nearly EVERY door that has opened has been the direct or indirect result of my own ability to build whatever my imagination can conceive. "Mike" sounds like someone who just wants to rationalize away their insufferable job.

Or maybe "Mike" is projecting his failure onto everyone who reads this drivel.

But yes, I agree, this is absolutely cringeworthy.

I don't see anything in this article that even hints at failure.

It's like people don't even read.

He started the article by saying that there were already enough articles written about the positives. While it does sound a little like he’s not happy with his job, I think he acknowledges off the bat that there are a lot of positives as well.
