I understand that younger siblings can be infuriating. The best solution is to imagine oneself in their place. As a child, we too seek the attention of our parents the way younger siblings seek the attention of their older sibling.
Also, talking really helps. So spend some time with your younger sibling, making them aware that they matter to see you.

Practice empathy. Try to understand his motives, why he behaves that way. Watch his behavior closely and look for similarities with your own behavior when you were his age.

Little brothers can be annoying actually brothers are pretty annoying. Try spending time with him doing what he likes to do. Get to know him better,maybe he's just like you.

Try to remember that we were all children at one point, and at one point we were probably just annoying, I know I sure am to my older sisters.

Age depending, be honest with him that he's bugging you, but that you want to make it better. Ask him for his feedback on how to make the relationship enjoyable for you both. Sometimes acknowledging the "elephant in the room" allows both people to discuss what they think is causing it and what they think they can do to improve it.

As we grow up we tend to realize the mistakes we made in our past, this is because through experiences and age we mature. Your little brother is well, still little. He has not been through the same things you have been and so you may need to cut him some slack. Know that you need to be there to act as a guide if he chooses to seek you out, and try to put as little pressure on him to grow up in any specific way

That is a challenge I shall say ;) Remind yourself why you love your little brother, focus on the positive things he does and says, focus less on the negative. Talk with them when they do something that has bothered you, especially if it is to you.

I would say it depends on why you hate them. Sometimes I can feel really against my little sister, even if she has done nothing wrong. I have found that my reason for snapping at her (or anyone, really), always lies within me. Maybe I've had a bad day and need someone to vent to. Of course it is possible that there is a legit reason why you feel that way - in any case talking to someone (perhaps a Listener) always helps me.

Think of someone you looked up to. Now think if they wanted you around all the time. Maybe not? Little brother's look up to older siblings because they want to emulate and get away with the same things. reach taller things, wear nicer clothes, stay up late. How do you stop hating that? Find something great about them that you love. Teach them how to do things your way so they can follow what you're doing. Actually say, you need some alone time and explain WHY that's important. Try and include them when appropriate and depending on the age difference, if you're "boring" they'll go away and do something better again in no time. Be the positive influence. Your the older cool friend they know ;)
