I worked in Amazon HR and was disgusted at what I was seeing with PIP plans

No not insulted at all. I am very transparent about my career here and on Reddit (same username) about my career.

I’ve also talked about how I transitioned.

It was because of a manager who was “irrationally benevolent” who I’m still friends with now.

Thanks for link - it sounds like you had some good non-CRUD experience to be able to discuss that intelligently with him.

Honestly I wish I could find a place to work where I felt like I was friends with people there. I've never had a coworker that was a friend :( But I also work at pretty small companies and they've tended to not have great culture. I'd take a $100k coding job there

That startup I spoke about in the link had 60 people who officially were employed by the company.

I was the CTOs 2nd technical hire. Most of the technical work had been done by an outside firm.
