Quit. Seriously if all the good developers in shitty work environments voted with their feet, it would be a lot harder for these shitty work environments to exist.

At this point I don't want to move to another place where I have the same fight. While I don't get to run the show I do get to use pretty cutting edge software. We have been pumping out MVC sites since preview 3. If you know anywhere looking send them my way....please :) I couldn't agree more about the loss of sanity.

Good luck, and if you get fired then it's probably for the best. Ooo, nice slip of the keyboard;

Make sure you know which hills you are will to to die on before hand. That said...might you not have gotten what you wanted if you had kept your mouth shut? Point 2: if you have been pushing for 2 years and nothing has happened, it might be time to move on anyway. Pushing a bolder uphill by yourself becomes wearying after a while. No employer is worth your sanity, nor should they suck the enjoyment out of the job. Analogies be what they may. Make sure you know which hills you are will to to die on before hand.
