Indeed @replica9. I’ve hated most days of it too. I agree about the changing frameworks, but I find it almost worse to deal with the “local frameworks/code bases” that have been developed by different people during a long time, sometimes in “smart” ways that make them very hard to understand and maintain.
At least for the major frameworks you can move forward on your own from searching the web. With the local ones you can only hope that some person can help you. I’ve gotten to the point where I have very very little patience for quirks and want to rewrite the whole thing. I freeze up. Why I am much more productive working on my own stuff.
I don’t know how to get out either. Maybe there could be a market for helping lost developers find some other career. I don’t know if a traditional career coach would help me much.
