Oh my lord, yes, I get cynical as hell, despite never having really worked in development for a prolonged period of time. As for what I do about it - I accept that I am doing what I'm doing for personal reasons, because it's what I want to do (for the time being) rather than because I am trying to be all self-sacrifical and noble and Help Others. Just accepting that seems to help quite a lot.
