One hundred percent. I spent five years at a thrashing startup and then crashed and burned at a well-known cloud workflow company. It crushed my spirit. But I remembered a very friendly recruiter who had an opportunity for a tech lead on a marketing team. I set aside my ego and pride and he put me in touch of with a team of humble, hard-working folks who love web development. No one is out to be the most brilliant. We work as a team and we all actually like one another.
