"I code what needs to be coded in the order required to solve the problem at hand"

Same here. Our company has -no- formal software development processes. The line in the article that said something like "when management expectations are not in line with what is achievable..." had me twitching.

I solve what problems I can, in whatever order I think best. Because when management dump five 2-day projects on me, all with a 1-day deadline, they have shown that they cannot / will not prioritise and it falls to me to do so. Now that's the kind of behaviour that breeds burnout.
