I've had a similar experience.
I changed careers to web development. Was hired on a 3 man team. My boss was overwhelmed by work and after I was hired an unbelievable series of family health issues.
I just sat down and decided I was going to work my way though the code until I figured it out.
My coworker was a good guy, CS degree, better coder than I am. More knowledgeable for sure.
Coworker guy moved on, he needed more structure, nothing wrong with that. I managed to just dig my way though and learned a lot.
Different experiences for sure, works for some, not so much for other.
