Sounds like they're not too happy with their job. From Software to Soup: On Trading Coding for Crepes A well done rant but paints a bit too bleak of a picture and I may catch a slight wiff of troll. Personally I like what I do, but then I've never had to do it in a hideous cubicle farm so I'm lucky. In fact I'm really very lucky in that I get paid to do stuff I really enjoy doing, and would probably do for free anyway. (In fact I'm doing it for free now)
