Yes, sad that we don't get to work on actual algorithms/leetcode-like problems in the job. Instead it's just hundreds of cocoapods, gems, npm packages, and build tools to make a contact form or profile page.
Honestly sometimes it feels like it takes more time to untangle the web of build tooling and libraries than it does to write code.
After months of setting up a new app, I've finally written a component in the past week. It's just a list item, icon, text and a chevron, but to get to that point took ages.
I just hope it was worth it. Probably not, I fully expect this code to be thrown away again in favor of whichever consultant comes next and/or because a designer says so within five years or so. At least I get paid monthly I guess.
