So let me just throw this out there, we will always have to answer to someone. Whether it&#x27;s our middle manager in a big organization, VCs telling us how fast we need to grow, or our demanding users because they are the only way to get revenue.<p>All software written at this stage is small cogs on a much bigger platform written by teams of brilliant people over the last 30-40 years.<p>I do think it&#x27;s fair to say you want to work on actual interesting problems and being one of 20-40 people working on a game engine is probably very tedious. I imagine long code-review cycles since any tiny change could destabilize the entire system several layers up.<p>Some people need big organization structure to produce their best work while some people need the freedom to have infinite WFH days answering to users to produce their own best.
