It’s two o’clock in the morning, you haven’t slept three hours in as many days, the deadline for your release is mere hours away, and your software is about as stable as the maintenance programmer who had to deal with the previous release. A marketing rep drops by after his latest three-martini lunch with your clients and adds yet another do-or-die feature to the stack on your desk. At least he got some extra use out of his cocktail napkins. Now, recovered from your pleasant dream, you shake your head and gaze bleary-eyed over the sea of cubicles to survey your home away from home, deep in the heart of the corporate world.

Left to their own devices, the Suits will not only shoot themselves in the foot, they’ll miss on the first attempt and get yours as well. What does this really mean to you, the working-class programmer, on a day-to-day basis? After all, you didn’t sign up to be a project manager; you just wanted to write cool programs. Well, above and beyond the obvious shoe repair bills, you’re going to find yourself continually angry and frustrated as you spend your days designing and implementing programs that were doomed before you even fired up your editor.

I understand that they’re prone to jumping out the nearest window after about the third release. The pressures of our industry are extreme. Without a love of the art to carry you through, it can be a harrying experience for even the stoutest heart. Fortunately, the only windows that actually open in most development shops are located on the first floor, for probably just this reason. No, rather than a cold and calculated career path based on salaries, promotions, and longevity, we got into this business for a very understandable motive.
