Citing an anecdote (albeit your own) doesn't make you objective. I've been through the (actually exact, by your description) same experience and I'm doing fine

  On the matter of objectivity let's examine the issue and follow it through: A comment is made that correlates a popular technology opinion to a dreadful political subject. Offense ensues. Next... sadness. A couple of months ago I heard the most perfect description for such a sentiment from an army colonel to which he described such (in a broader context) as fragility. Sadness is not a valid qualifier for making a rational qualification of competencies... except in software where imposter syndrome is rampant. I will stop here. I have had this conversation numerous times in the past and for people who suffer from fragility it is generally not understandable beyond an honest disclosure of what it really is. To me welfare is the perfect analogy. For people addicted to that system no rational conversation will convince them double the work in the short term could have 10x benefits later down the road. They can't see it and don't want it. They are content and utterly reliant upon the tools provided to them.
