finally{}: On the Creativity of Programmers

Throughout my career, I regularly got frustrated with many managers (and subsequently the companies) for which I worked. This became a recurring theme and led to me bouncing between dozens of jobs over a relatively short period. I could never quite put the finger on exactly what the problem was, but I just kept getting frustrated at not feeling like I had any say in the software that we were creating, nor that I was considered part of "the team."
