You're trying to calm down so you don't slit your wrists aren't you?
This is why you hire the code monkeys, so they pull their hair out and you don't end up going bald.
I had to watch this video after your comment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W_wd9Qf0IE
RofL man, that's the first time I saw that. Funny as hell. Thanks 
Seriously though, I feel sorry for coders. It has to be the most "un-fun" job in the entire industry. It takes a special kind of dedicated person to handle doing nothing but coding all the time, even when it's something you love or For something you love, like a game. The most complicated things I've ever had to script were making items and spell scripts for UO back in the day. Compared to the languages used today and that have developed in the last 6 or 7 years what I know how to do isn't sh!t. In my opinion the industries coders need and deserve a lot more props then they get. They should get larger salaries too.
In almost every other aspect of creating a video game people get to use their creative sides or artistic talents. In coding, not so much. Granted there is a certain "art" to coding but it's nothing near the sense of creative freedom you get as a visual artist or a musician (except to the really rare individual). When writing any kind of code certain rules must be followed that often limit the coder and the coding its-self. It's up the coder to create a way around these limitations yet still within the confines of the code's limitations. They work long hours often far into the night, and no matter how creative anyone is, without them there wouldn't be a program. I have the deepest respect for what I consider the hardest working employees in the industry.
Still....that video was funny as hell!!! LoL
