> it's very hard to convince people who believe there's a Right Way to do things that there is no Right Way
I worked with a guy who claimed they'd worked at Google (probably not you, fwiw). They were SO SURE there WAS ONE TRUE WAY, and I'm 90% sure the actual definition was "whatever way this guy [me] wants to do it is not the TRUE WAY."
I almost quit dealing with that guy, but I ended up wandering to some other random project in the org.
Dude was whack though. I'll never forget when we hired a guy and he was saying "if the hiring team thinks he's good enough, he's clearly not because they hired this guy [pointing at me]." Fuck that guy.
I might not be the best coder in any room, but I'm a pretty solid engineer.
