In today's world, deadlines are everything. And it has been my experience that deadlines are getting tighter and tighter. So I understand where your manager comes from, he just want you to finish the project in the shortest amount of time. However, having a sense of design and wanting to make eveything you do a cut above the rest are admireable qualities in my point of view. I'm sure there are loads of companies who will actually appreciate this. If you're having fun at your job, discuss it with your manager. If he just wants a code monkey, tell him there are loads of them, and that this position at this job are not for you. |

I've only got a few years' experience so I guess I don't yet know what it's like to be managing deadlines from above. I do know that if I ever was, I would not be able to sacrifice what I'm passionate about in order to guarantee to meet deadlines. I would always rather risk delivering great products a bit late than deliver average products on time. I know that doesn't make sense for larger businesses right now but if I ever have a startup of my own that's how I'd want it to be from the beginning!
