Such a great list. Thanks for writing.

I full agree these things matter us. These endless paper cuts tatter us as we go.

Still I think the real suffering is less about these little indignities, & more a cosmic sense that the business doesn't get it, doesn't see the real work, doesn't care. It doesn't seem like businesses fundamentally believe in us, our craft, or our talents. Performance review even when going great tends to recognizes us only in blunt vague generalizations.

As craftsmen we all too often feel alone & separated from the org when we are doing are best acts. Hard finicky stuff pulled together by hook, crook, and a couple dashes of wit. Finding excellent libraries and tools to offload hard aspects of the task.

The company can then be merry that they've built a great product, hopefully. But it feels like camaraderie - through good times & bad! - would come from sharing such incredible work & time, but the organization doesn't fully see. The faint distributed sensory network of the discorporal org miss the best parts of truth our code wroughts out.
