A salesperson trying to sell my boss 'managed services' said "nobody likes writing parsers" and I had to cut him off.
"I do."
I'm starting to wonder what the heck everyone imagines an engineer's job should be. Apparently I'm supposed to *want* to just sit back, go to meetings, shuffle reports, and ask vendors to do anything more technical than sort rows of spreadsheets?

@DarcMoughty These dunces think coding is drudgery. But to me it's the little bit of pleasure I get from the engineering process after all the planning, trades, design, meetings and the rest of it are done.
