have you ever worked with pivotal Labs? One of my biggest faults I guess is that I worked with femme and they have such an incredibly high bar for understanding, design patterns and cyclomatic complexity and solid and test driven development principles and so forth that once you've worked with them, anywhere else you go is going to feel like a dumpster fire. so then you'll just pull your hair out thinking everyone's an idiot, even if it's really just a lot of bad incentives.
