If you want to hear the positives of something hang out with business people. If you want to hear a bunch of bitching about how literally everything is not good enough, hang out with engineers. We don’t get paid to shoot rainbows up everyone’s ass, we get paid to point out what’s broken and fix it.

(I don’t disagree with your point at all but …) I’m reasonably sure many of us get paid to do both, sometimes simultaneously to satisfy various undue optimisms, and other times encapsulating our pessimisms from certain audiences.
