I love programming but I hate polishing up the same features for days, but that&amp;#x27;s what&amp;#x27;s necessary to make a good app. I hate testing, but it&amp;#x27;s part of the game.&lt;p&gt;How photographers really spend their time : &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cambyte.com&amp;#x2F;wp-content&amp;#x2F;uploads&amp;#x2F;2015&amp;#x2F;05&amp;#x2F;piechart.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cambyte.com&amp;#x2F;wp-content&amp;#x2F;uploads&amp;#x2F;2015&amp;#x2F;05&amp;#x2F;piechart.j...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having said that I&amp;#x27;m sure, some people in some industries reach that dream but I can&amp;#x27;t think of any...</text></comment>

I love programming, but not when I&amp;#x27;m at work.
