> Find comfort in programming outside of the corporate world and practicing the art
It's hard to practice the art on the side when you already work hard in corporation.
However, I think it's possible to have a bit of fun programming in the corporate world. Besides, the incentives between managements and programmers do overlap. It's not like all managers are stupid. If the codebase is too messy, or lead to too many productions incidents, it makes sense to clean it up and refactor, or use different tools or languages.
