This is why I would never want to work at Amazon. I get requests from their recruiters all the time and based on these stories even though they most it seems are not related to the technology department make me disgusted when I think of working for them. They have great products (which I really enjoy) and software but if they cannot take care of their employees how well can they take care of their customers? It is sad that a company like this does this. It tells me you cannot enjoy your life working for a company like them.

This is a great web app! I have been searching for something like this for when looking for chords! Really great job!

I am 27 and going through the same thing, it seems no matter where I work until I can truly setup the structure or foundation for a project I never feel like I am working on something glorious because I think it wasn't put together well or sloppy; I have worked at places where I believe it was put together well so I'm not always putting down code I inherit. The way that I keep sane is I try to stay positive by going to meetups and being with other people who are excited about the more advanced things and have the same type of hunger for purpose. At home I also work on personal projects and explore new things and I would recommend that. I quit my job like you a year after the startup I was with was acquired because they really didn't care about the tech aspect of it and joined a new one but I am not really challenged (even thought they needed to hire a senior software engineer) and try to lose myself in my routine so the day goes by quick. I think what I am going to have to do for purpose is do more open-source projects or build small apps of my own. I would recommend that. Focus on your family too and your non-tech life, remembering how valuable they are in helping you not think of this. There are tons of us like you.

I see, so she will just have to co-exist with them.

Does that not mean you could live in the house too with a nice guard dog?

Whatever happened to physically grabbing someone and violently throwing them out of your house?

This is awesome, great job! I love the flip animation.

You should go to a music school, thats what I did and in 5 months I'm playing pretty decent (I'm a professional programmer too).
