If you don't like that maybe you should stop doing enterprise Java for a living. There are whole other worlds of programming out there.

This. My company recently had a training session for their new development platform. Creating one entity with four attributes using "best practices" of TDD and abstracting everything resulted in over 20 Java and XML files and over 2000 lines of code. Each individual piece of that bloat had a somewhat reasonable justification, but the net result was just ridiculous. I had already decided to accept a less enterprisey job elsewhere, and am now even more convinced it was the right call.

Wow. That sounded so ridiculous, I'm tempted to go on with my life believing you made it up.

Not sure what the down votes were for, it was clearly meant tongue in cheek, I do actually believe the guy, I merely wished I didn't.

Man, this place it very quickly turning into reddit with the voting.

Agreed. Not taking joy in programming says more about you than the state of programming.
