    Surprised we're that far down. Sure it would be much higher if we could just fanny about programming whatever we felt like instead of having bloody clients and bosses telling us what they wanted.

      Oh yeh! I did an IR35 fail there. Maybe HMRC should assess how miserable we are. The more unhappy the higher the degree of control.

        most of the time nowadays I'm a happy chappie.

        Not sure 93 is a fair place, compared to some of the other workers in the firm I have a great life.

          Looking closer (not just searching for information, I obviously failed as a tester there) quite a few things that might fit CUKers. Also:

          Think that's more me.

            I had a good day today - wrote a nice pivot query with a common table expression that made my query run about 1000x faster

              I love what I do, when I think of the cr@p life I could have ended up with (an inner city secondary school Maths teacher ), doing what I do now is a god send, being paid a relative fortune to develop software is happy days

                  Pay also depends what you are in. You overpaid b*s in banking and other commercial sectors get about double what us lot in the engineering sector, aircraft, oil and gas, power etc., get.

                  Still, as a confirmed geek, I really like programming. A world with just machines and computers and no f* people would be brill!
