My first job in software was also my worst.  I was learning a lot by building and enhancing a SaaS applicant tracking system for a small firm in Denton.  But it was run by really shady people; our CEO would hire grossly unqualified people that he was friends with back in his home country...  Our director of QA had previously been a high school history teacher, and had never used a computer before... it was nuts.<p>We were also actively screwing one of our business partners.  They sued us, and my boss considered me a very dangerous witness, so he sent me on a paid vacation so I couldn&#x27;t be subpoenaed.  Crazy place.
