A lot of developers will agree to the claim that they turned their hobby into their profession. However, when looking at the daily business they often face a world different from what they expect. A variety of reasons lead to a developer becoming frustrated thinking "What the hell am I doing here?". Sometimes it's because of expectations that simply cannot be met in reality but there are also external factors that contribute to the "developer unhappiness".

Based upon a lot of discussions, observations and real life experiences the presentation will show a number of "real life patterns" that can be applied immediately to manage the everyday stress and hurdles to make ourselves feel more relaxed and happier in our job.
