Some time ago I spent a few years at a young, fast growing company.  The technology was exciting, the developers where the best I&#x27;ve seen, and technical leadership was great.  And myself, I expended considerable effort becoming an expert on the code and domain. All was not roses though, there was the usual lack of product direction and product management, and I eventually moved on.  Since then I&#x27;ve found myself hopping from job to job, always disappointed, always comparing the new to the old, and always disappointed. The developers aren&#x27;t motivate, or the culture is a bit toxic, there&#x27;s often no appetite to adopt new technology, etc...<p>Lately it&#x27;s occurred to me that I may never experience that type of work environment again, and this makes me sad.  Has anyone else experienced this? How did you cope?
