No, you just got a bad job. (Maybe it'll get better.)

In most programming jobs there is very little innovation. I myself spend my days writing fairly trivial PHP or Java software. It pays the bills.

The honest truth is, the majority of us aren't clever enough to innovate. Even the majority of academic "research" is a dick-waving contest and forcing the latest buzzward into your paper to attract interest.

You are not a programmer you are a web developer.
In much the same way that burger-flippers are not astronauts.

Code monkeys don't innovate new tools, they merely implement and fix systems to deliver to a business.

Code monkeys create working implementations from broken and inconsistent designs sketched together in UML. They have the ultimate responsibility in producing something that actually works.

There are plenty of code monkeys working in the public sector.

/jp/'s motto is "take it easy", so don't whine about easy money.

That makes me sad. I was beginning to think that the public sector might be more efficient at producing technology than the private sector (tighter budget, canceled work is at least accessible, rather than being thrown out and sealed away).
