Your job isn't your life. The problems with the code aren't your personal problems. It can definitely feel like it at times, but they just aren't.
You'll move on from that code. Probably to some other code that is also fresh hell. Doing a good job in our industry is hard. Doing a great job in our industry is neigh on impossible.
