Friend: what do you do for living?

Me: I am a developer, software engineer.

Friend: Lucky you! you have a comfortable work, always in your desk.

Me inside: *he doesn't have a clue about developer​s struggling* *dying inside*

it's even worse when you work at home

I agree with the others. As hard it is on the mind it's still a "comfortable" job compared to other professions.

It's a bit of a firstworldproblem, but staying fit as a dev is tough.

It's a comfortable career though, and if you are curious and intelligent you can earn a nice salary without the need for an expensive education. In contrast to most other professions demand is going to keep growing.

You don't need such negativity in your life. 😐

Project managers?

still better job than flipping those burger patties
