This says to me these people are working on projects that are not challenging/interesting enough with people who don't respect their intellect. That's a solvable problem.

Anecdote... I function as a product manager, and I have a lot of fun with the developers I work with (and have a lot of respect for), and they enjoy working with me. I come to them with complex, interesting problems and my framework for potential solutions, and we talk through whether they think it's the right direction and, if so, what I've missed... or they propose alternatives. It's like a chess game where we can both win.

I hope the OP and anyone feeling this way tries working with other projects and people.

That has certainly been a major aspect of it in the past - feeling like I don't have enough autonomy to decide on the best approaches etc - but I think now I probably have too much of a high-level "what are we actually doing here?" kind of uninterestedness for even that to make it work.

Maybe if we could go right to the bottom and start getting everyone to be a bit more computer literate, so the software didn't have to be so complicated, or something... I don't know.

It sounds like you are badly burned out. I've experienced this, and it's miserable. I hope you can take a long break and heal. I wish you well!
