or 0.01194% of the total voting population.
Quite the large uninformed voting base (that they can vote).
 We'll have the opposite % in America on Tuesday, and with quite the large uninformed voting base, period.

and telling me when to do my job, by coming in Friday afternoon at 15:00 for a release change due Monday morning 09:00 despite you telling them about the issue 2 months earlier.
and telling me how to do my job by questioning every design choice you make (up to naming variables) as they're expert level exceeds yours because they read a shady internet article somewhere.

Good point.
Perhaps this is aimed at the beginner. What you've described settles in with experience.

Where the whole thing appears to be a big pile of mud and sticks but some of them are structurally vital and if you touch them the whole thing collapses.
You can't even refactor a beaver dam safely as there may be runtime-only resolutions going on that you aren't aware of.

You mean an anthill?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Giving the code I've had to work with that's insulting to beaver dams and ant hills! 
Even spaghetti doesn't start to describe it.
It's like, if an ant colony went to make an ant hill on a beaver dam and you had earphones made of spaghetti, that you kept in your bag for a year, so it's TUBAR (Tangled Up Beyond All Repair), and threw that in the ant hill on the beaver dam... Then maybe you get the slightest idea of the crap I've had to deal with

'By the way... you have to use our new enterprise grade product lifecycle management tools to do configuration management...'
No thanks - Git and Redmine'll do me, thank you very much...
'No, you HAVE to...'
But it'll slow things down SO much - why?!
'Because corporate...'
Yeah, people imposing stupid, damaging tools and processes 'because that's the way we do things...'
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

There is nothing scary for a developer who have at-least 4-5 yr exp., I think.
Development is always challenging task & after few year exp., anybody can face any issue... !

You wouldn't say that if you had at least 4-5 years of experience!

It's just my perception. As I think First 2 year is just learning period & next 2 year exp.

Trust me, even the most seasoned developer gets a good scare when he opens some SQL procedure with over 5000 lines of code (yes, they exist) 
Also, as a developer we're never done learning.
I know a lot of "experienced" developers who get scared by new technology.
They never kept up and their knowledge is obsolete, any new technology will make that painfully clear
By that sentiment I'd like to point out that "years working in the field" != "experience".
When you do the same thing over and over you don't get more experienced.
Actually, I'd like to argue that the more experience you have the scarier it gets.
Do you remember the first time you had to refactor something?
Maybe you were young, arrogant, and full of spirit, that refactor wouldn't get you down!
And then the refactor DID get you down.
Your next refactor does the same.
And the third time is no different.
Hell, you'll be scared the fourth time you need to do a refactor because experience taught you this will end in tears

Yet again, you've got me looking around the office looking around for you.. I swear we must be at the same company!
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

That's why I write my subject heading to "Nothing Or Everything".
If after working few years you didn't learn how to face scary situation's without scared, Everything would be scary always.
Because using past exp. we can learn only one thing how to learn (how to face), that's it.

Went from scaring to live horror: all developers had to move from their 2 - 4 person rooms to open plan offices, mixed with sales guys, marketing and support, "to improve the company's community".
The transcription for they just wanted to save money.
No changes to deadlines, expecting the same productivity.
Workaround: home office days and good headphones.

My biggest fear is clients unrealistic estimates of what software development will cost them.
"I just want a smart phone app that will change the world. That will only cost a of couple hundred dollars wont it?"

Run the app on a remote system. mstsc.exe will accept practically any weird resolution you throw at it.
