This is a pretty good article and I suspect a lot of it applies to almost any job. Replace software engineering with accounting or electrical engineering or whatever and it's probably all still true. Working with other people can be difficult, soft skills and kindness are what make it less difficult. Find places where the culture is a good fit for you and where the interviews focus heavily on behavior. Also, work on yourself. There's a lot of toxic attitude in this post and even more so in these comments. Stones and glas houses come to mind. You don't have to be apathetic in response to the realization that politics is a major thing at higher levels in bigger organizations or that estimates will almost always be wrong. That's like not enjoying sunny days because eventually there will be bad weather. Very silly.
