"How do I overcome hatred for product managers and solutions architects?"

Stop giving a shit.

Care about the job and not the project or the actual work. You're just there to trade your time for money. If they want to waste they time they paid you for, that's on them.

Or phrased a little less bluntly: Be a professional and do the best job you can within the constraints.

I mean if I hire a painter and say paint my house like a candy cane - they may think wow that will drop house price by half but will probably go buy a bunch of red and white paint and get started.

yeah, it's funny because I've often given this advice to other people as well... just play the part and don't make it define you, easy to forget
