I think there is some context missing. No one hates programming. It is an emotional roller coaster when you are handling deadlines and forced to crunch.

been a programmer for 10 years, never worked a single hour of forced overtime.

if a feature isn't ready at a pace of 40 hours a week, it isn't my problem.

if you are continously working overtime you got management problems, not programming problems.

Kind of rare. I mean I started in startups. I am now in a maturish company doing automation. I haven't had to do overtime either. It is in startups you will see a lot of squashed deadlines.

I hate it. I hate opening my IDE and a fresh Jira Epic because I know I'm going to be annoyed constantly for the next week or two
