I used to write code as a hobby for a few years; technically still do but for a tiny project. It drove me mad when I discovered issues with a version, or that I hadn’t implemented this big feature that I envisioned, and while I took classes on the subject it was just for credit and to pass the time, I wasn’t learning any new material that I didn’t already have. So I’d be angry at myself about learning new abilities and not immediately putting them to use in ways my users - mostly just family and friends - could benefit from. I never worked with anyone else, just one dude being super hard on myself, all the time, for no reason. One could see the same effects in other avenues of my life, but programming it was visible front and center.
it was one of my reasons for burning out. Perfection and the fear that I wasn’t good enough, self-imposed fears, made for lots of late nights and missed sleep, and as I learned languages the feeling never faded. So I hung up the towel because I didn’t want to die at 30. We’ll, and partially because I became disabled, so it wasn’t completely my choice, but I was already turning a passion into a nightmare so it was going to happen eventually.
But that was just me, self-taught, and trying to improve things however I could by my lonesome for about a decade as a teen and beyond. I don’t expect someone of my level to handle an OS project, but I damn well do for those hired and paid for the task. I hate them for many reasons, but Samsung ships OS version bumps on their flagship models in like a ~month from launch. I believe others do, too, but it’s been a while. And custom rom devs are still pushing them within a week or two. FP has just a couple models to support. This shouldn’t be a nearly year-long process.
