Either something where you can take pride in your work, like traditional artisan (maybe furniture or woodworking?), or something where your job has some way to inflict vengeance, like a lawyer.

I'm in my 14th year as a programmer, and I have similar thoughts. Like...how did we get here as an industry?

is the issue the terrible things to which the tech is applied, or the terrible tech that the people before you kept using just because it was cool and now people are stuck with?

Why wouldn't you be able to take pride in your work? Your work specifically is inspiring, and you should be proud. It doesn't matter if not many others do actual creative work.

I take a lot of pride in my work, luckily I work with a small team of developers in a very niche domain so we have the luxury of applying some craftsmanship to our software.

Why do you say that? Is it that programming is too subjective (and often measured oddly) and so people don't appreciate well crafted code? Or that tech is being used for things you disagree with morally?

Looks like it's because you - the creator, nor the user/machine owner, actually have full control over the medium. Seems like a freedom and control based argument. Casey gave the example of a mid-game OS update in response to diff comment.
