I've been a software "engineer" for over 20 years, and my personal experience is that software engineers are basically never happy.

True enough. The world is never as predictable as the computers we program, and the computers we program are never as predictable as we feel they should be.

>>debo_+(OP)
Plenty of happy engineers at the other cloud. :)

I’ve used AWS for almost 20 years and I can tell you it’s more stable than Azure

Being happy means:

- you don't feel the need to automate more manual tasks (you lack laziness)

- you don't feel the need to make your system faster (you lack impatience)

- you don't feel the need to make your system better (you lack hubris)

So basically, happiness is a Sin.

A bunch less today than a year ago.

I presume you mean the Oracle cloud?

>>debo_+(OP)
Autonomy, decent pay, non toxic environment and non bullshit job.

It isnt actually all that much but most devs who have all of these I've come across are happy.

Nobody is happy with Oracle anything! It has some users because it is free. It has paid users because Larry Ellison bribed the government. Nobody would choose it voluntarily.

>>teej+l5
I have zero doubts.

>>homebr+fV
No, gcp. Was a happy customer for many years, now I work there.

Agreed. I've had this more often than not, and while every job has its little gripes, if I have those things the rest is well, just part of the job.
