Look at it this way:

Your boring, cushy tech job only exists because the industry as a whole is grossly inefficient.

That's why so many people are doing nearly the same thing, over and over and over, day after day.

If it wasn't for that inefficiency you would need to find other work, and it would probably be a lot more difficult than your current job.

So, glass half full.
