You say "boring", I am going to assume that is accurate. ("Overruled by idiots" isn't boring, it's frustating, and I'm assuming that while that may annoy you it is not the core problem.) Try to automate away the boring; its what software engineering is for. If you're writing the same code over and over again, that means it's ripe for refactoring.

If this doesn't apply to you, well, I'm sure somebody reading will find it helpful. If you're a "software engineer" and writing the same code every day, stop! Don't do that. It's bad engineering. Write better abstractions. You'll learn something.
