When my family sees me working I'm afraid they'd get the impression that I hate my work. It seems like I'm always dealing with something that doesn't quite work right.

I had a conversation with the salespeople in my organization that got me thinking about it too; as a developer, I was always talking about what was wrong or missing in my product, not what was right about it.

If you're the kind of programmer that the "buck stops with" you'll always be frustrated with what you've got because your whole job is to make it better.
