MODERATORS
I know a couple of old head programmers in their 60s who deeply lament the world they've created. So... you're not alone lmao.
I'm 30 and sometimes I resent the code I write
Is any developer both happy with their salary and also developing something not resent-worthy?
Passionate indie game devs?
Are even 1% of those actually happy with their salary? I doubt it.
I think developers for Valve specifically have very high salaries and an incredible amount of autonomy to determine their own projects. A lot of Valve devs get paid a lot of money to contribute to upstream open source projects like Linux and Proton so games can run better on Linux; that sounds like a very specific example that fits this.
I have heard these claims too. If true, I dig it, that'd make oooone company..
