Code means deadlines means stress. If you want a low stress job be a janitor.
I don't have a stress problem.
Obviously stress is involved, i'm talking in comparrison with other careers.. finance, law ect.

You want /g/ as your coworkers? The biggest stress is the amount of autists trying to act like typical adults.

The stress to perform is there with any job.
Luckily computers are esoteric to penny pinchers hence why IT guys get paid so much despite doing so little.

My experience has been the polar opposite.
Nobody appreciates IT when it keeps everything running until it breaks, then it's our fault regardless of actual cause.
Pay is lousy and budget nonexistant, resulting in lots of band-aid solutions.
Picture is what I imagine managers think like about IT budget cuts.

Even web development can either be extremely stressful or laughably relaxed depending on the company.
