Coding brings out the hate because it's such a precise discipline and people, especially those in management, optimize for optics rather than correctness.

In my more sober moments I like to consider the smallness of the entire enterprise of my employer. Yes, everyone around me sucks but what other than my sanity is being hurt by the stupidity of it all? Nothing, really.

If that doesn't work (it doesn't for me), think: "I'm being paid to smile and nod when fed horseshit."
