I think I was damaged by working at a tiny little software company (less than ten people) for the first decade of my career. It had its good points and bad points, and one of the bad ones was that everyone was competent and meant well.
You would think that would be a good thing, and certainly we made a decent living for a lot of years (and they still do today). The problem was I got used to that. I thought that was normal.
Fast forward several years and I quit that job to make my game, and then when I ran out of money I have worked in other jobs, where things do not work like that. It was a culture shock, to say the least.
So now I'm trying to get used to the idea of working and somehow thriving in an environment where everyone is not competent, and many do not even mean well.
But that's reality.
