re: PPS. More than you know, but going into detail about my weird and unorthodox working style would reveal too much personal info.

re: PS. I should clarify. I was a damn good programmer who could pump out clean, readable, maintainable code, faster than most. But only once I found myself in a job I loved surrounded by people who encouraged learning, were curious, and loved to teach me. You gotta find your tribe. Don't let your brain rot.

I have a corollary: badly managed companies make good people go bad.

Even worse is the delusion where you believe awareness of bad influences protects you from the consequences...some things can not be mitigated. For example “the culture of mediocrity” :<https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257623179_The_Cultu...>.

I often have the 'find the right tribe' idea in my head; it's staggering how important it is to find the right people.
