Yes however my direct experience in having to walk through protesters to get to work was not based on bad software but instead religious beliefs. As a software architect for what was then the world's first biometric payments company in the mid 2000's, PayByTouch, I spent a lot of time in the San Francisco office solving reliability and system scaling issues. These techniques, now commonplace, were learned from my personal solutions in scaling my own server software which had processed all of PayPals transactions from the late 1990s up until their departure which cut us out, the EPX middleman. It is difficult to forget the first time I experienced this "vague hate" targeting me as I walked through protesters based on my employer and what I did for a living. I learned immediately to hide my badge and avoid the crowds which is something many others have learned that is even more applicable at this point in time in society.
