We have a lot of bugs everyone complains to me about and I have sufficient downtime to fix them* but I have to go through drawn out planning, UI, UX processes before I can even start. I just don't bother any more.

And yeah, it's definitely not just the best ones. I am mediocre and am so bored and so done with dev.

* the downtime is there because I am waiting for planning, UX, and UI for a different high priority task.

I think that many companies don’t know or have forgotten that programming is a creative process more than a manufacturing process. You’re not pulling chicken breasts off an assembly line and wrapping them in plastic.
