I don't believe developers have no right to complain.
I only hope these types of threads don't become a habit. It promotes a mentality of negativity, in my opinion. It's not constructive for the industry, I don't think.
This is the first thread of this type I've seen on the front page. I don't see any reason it'll be a "habit".
Yes, software engineers are generally well-off, but that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of people in our field who work in toxic environments, or have an over-demanding manager, or feel like they have no potential to grow in their current role, or have mental health issues that are exacerbated by stressful and isolating working conditons, to name a few possible issues. And I'm sure many of those people are hesitant to try to change this situation because they are well-compensated and work in a nice office building. So if a thread like this could nudge them to take that first step, then I'm all for it.
The number of upvotes and comments is an indicator that enough people feel or have felt this way for this thread to be worthwhile.
