Kazan, that is the nature of humans. They always want more, better, etc.
Writing games is a no end deal until you reach reality on the screen which you will never do.
BUT
As a programmer of business software, they say to you, "I want a program to do X, Y & Z"
And you can do that for them, Perfectly. You can write them a program that does all that, garbage collection/memory management, no leeks etc. Runs perfectly and does ALL that they wanted it to do and does it flawlessly
But, as I said, human nature comes into it and then they come back to you saying, "Can you make it do this? Can you change it in that way?" etc.
Humans are never satisfied.
I've just recently written a HUGE program at work that can do 11 times faster than 1 human can do in any given period of time - and THEY'RE STILL NOT HAPPY! ***
P.S.
I'm going to win an award, get a HUGE promotion and get my own team of developers for what I've already done - and programming isn't even my job. I'm a Federal Officer and they've just stumbled on my ability to program and save them time and money. They also know I'm an Aspie.
*** they're still coming to me saying, "Can you make it do this? Can you make it do that?"
Which I can, but my point is... End users are never satisfied.
And God forbid, your code may actually have a bug in it, despite the fact that you told them, this may be so, suddenly, you're the doctor that killed their relative.
You get very little appreciation for all the wonderful and magical stuff you can do with code and all the vehement when it doesn't do exactly what they want, God forbid a crash!
