It's not even that, I think. It's just a... "Trade-offs exist: Deal with it." type thing? If I can offer an anecdote which is tangential: I like to say that I'm actually an Optimist, but it's just that I've been disappointed so many times that I may sound like a Pessimist. Honestly, I think it requires a certain amount of optimism/hope for the future to keep working in this industry. The people are usually great, but the systems (both technological and organizational) are mostly just awful. Awful, awful, awful. I take a little solace in the fact that I can (most of the time) fix the technical systems.
