Yep - 2021 was a bad time for me, mostly because I was stuck working with "smart" people on 2 different projects who had no idea how to add value. All 3 of us have PhDs, but while they had coasted from there in positions where being "the genius" was enough, I had taken a couple of career tangents. They were constantly mesmerized by my Bash skills and infrastructure knowledge, and in the end my parts of the project got done and theirs were written off due to lack of progress.
