Once you're familiar with friction, you start seeing it everywhere. And then you hate how much of it there is. I'm sure there's a philosophical lesson in there somewhere. As far as battling it goes, my experience is that you can get a lot of mileage by just spending an extra minute or three making something a little cleaner, more readable, less prone to failure, etc.
