The complaints being so specific, it feels like you're having some discontent with your workplace and feeling that you're trapped there because "there's nothing better out there anyway." Well, don't despair, look around more, you might find that there are places you could actually like.

In the conditions you described, it may be worth it to take a small pay cut to get away from a soulcrushing job that makes you question your existence. Money really isn't everything.

I agree with you, but unfortunately not everyone who is qualified can work for a good employer.

Why?

If x is the number of dev jobs available in the world, and 0.4x is the number of dev jobs that are not laden with bullshit...

I'm willing to bet the number of qualified devs looking for work is more like 0.8x, implying 50% will be SOL
