So.... We spend most our lives learning languages and methodologies and best practices and all that crap while depriving ourselves of sleep because the rules said if we did that we'd make something cool and have fun doing it...

But then *any company here* comes along and says make this shitty feature in *arbitrary time here* for our stupid *product here*.
You do it working overtime and sacrificing quality to have the client say afterwards that he wants something different (from his own specs).

And then the circle repeats...

I should consider a different profession...
Hey plants don't speak... Maybe I'll be a gardener!
Clip here clip there - done. I'll be a happy fucking script

    You seem to be missing the point of why we get paid and why many of us do work. Best practices support work, not the other way around.

    People want features quickly because they either have a legitimate business need or are incompetent. Reason with the former and avoid working for the latter.

    If you think your work is stupid, do something else.
