I couldn't have expressed it any better. This is it for me, it kills it for me when "coding isn't seen as anything but a chore that needs to be done towards the business goal. A necessary annoyance, where the real purpose is something that doesn't require coding. And that really kills the enjoyment for a lot of devs".

I began feeling that way at my previous job and left about 2 months ago. Now I am in my new job at a startup going through hypergrowth and I feel like development and solutioning is so intertwined and we go back to the drawing board so often and the dynamics of so fluid that I get to feel a more obvious sense of purpose.
