>I am not sure what has happened over the decades regarding actually being proud of the work you produce.

Because there's still people doing less work than you do for a bigger paycheck

Because you'd get fired or laid off for someone working for 1/2 to 1/4th of your pay

Because they make you jump through multiple rounds of interviews and technical tests while people above you have a far less barrier to being hired

Because someone stole credit for your work

Because you'd get re-hired and find a mountain of shit code from a company that off shored their dev team

Because companies stopped giving significant raises that didn't keep up with major inflation in the past few years, while your work might have gotten them many multiples more of profits
