My thoughts: quit working at tech companies. There are tons of small a medium sized companies that have business outside of the tech industry that need software development done. Many of them will choose to have it outsourced, but many of them don't. In the last 10 years of my 20-year career, only 1.5 of them were at a tech company (3 years ago), and they were definitely the worst. I work at a foreign language instruction firm. I'm making a virtual reality training environment for them. It's the best job I've ever had. I don't have anyone micromanaging my work, because nobody understands my work. I barely understand their work, and that's ok. We understand that about each other and we actually collaborate. In the last 3 years I've not once been yelled at, talked down to, berated, cajoled, pressured into working overtime, any of it. I've not seen it happen to anyone else, either. I have an office of my own. I can work from home whenever I want. People just trust me to be an adult and do my work and it's the greatest thing ever: basic human decency.
