It was the hobby I was really happy to turn into a full time, paying job.
I know I'm not alone in that either. I used to joke with colleagues about not letting the boss know how much we enjoyed the work.
I love writting code for myself: no brain dead managers or product people, no one asks "will it scale to 10000000 when natural cap is 10", no arch reviews where bunch of people that aren't familiar with the problem or the solution ask dumb questions addressed in the first slide.
Or hell, a closer analogy: Why don't you code everything in assembly? Why use compilers?
No fucking seriously, let me see your mental gymnastics around that, where you only accept the ease-of-use you grew up on, but not the shit that makes it easier for other people coming up.
