It's alright. After doing it for more than a decade, I can't think of doing anything else. Although, the spark is gone and now it's more of a chore sometimes.

Reason to keep going is the good pay. Earlier it was all good, but now it feels like doing CRUD in one way or another. Not to mention, the work hours are always atrocious. The thing I hate most about is the middle management or leadership who always over promise things and have quite a myopic view of technical aspects of software.

Another thing is the constant bombardment of new tech that one has to keep up with. It's as if there's no downtime and you can't just switch off and get back to your daily life after putting in your regular hours.
