I work in a company that was started by the devs themselves. I went from hearing "the code is the best documentation!" (No it isn't, it's spaghetti) to "every task should be done in, at most, a day" (and now we have more support tickets and open PRs nobody has time to look at than ever)
Meanwhile I just feel more and more burnt out. The worst is the mental load of having to wrangle the tool that actively works against me and generates bad code faster than I'm able to write good code.
