Thank you for always teaching me new words 
Got the memo. Not like I haven’t been told a million times already. But there has to be a point I decide I start actually working on it from then on.

People are dicks, but when your bills, mortgage, etc depend on working in a team you’ll get down in the middle of the bukkake circle like the rest of us.

You are probably a guy that struggles with identity and ego.
But hey. It takes all types…
Lol, what?
Edit: quit being an armchair psychiatrist. We (may) disagree on management approaches; it’s not like I called your mom a fat whore. This topic deserves its own thread.

I agree with your original point buddy but you went from 0-60 real quick there.

I’m halfway through. I already like it more than Season 1, but I still think his portrayal in Season 2 of Daredevil was better.

As did I. Only took like 4 sessions/binges.
Nothing can top the prison fight scene in Daredevil. I can say the ending of season two is… well I had an end to that sentence but I’ll keep it to myself. I don’t think it would spoil it but I hate spoilers.
I liked it, though.
It took me about a week. Most of my confession was fueled by sadness. I wish there was more…
I couldn’t make it past the second episode of Daredevil. Does it get better from there?
It defiantly ranked a 10 on the brutal meter.
Yes. Press on!

Alright!
I only watched season 2, and only for the Punisher parts. Apparently there is a blind superhero as well.

About a dozen guys In my company all got together with a half dozen pizzas paired with equal amounts of bourbon and binged watched the whole season the night it came out. Good times.
Punisher Season 1, Episode 1. My favorite episode of all the Netflix series.
The Tom Waits fight scene was completely worth the build up.

Really depends on the size and type of company you end up at. Larger companies tend to draw boxes around their employees and they just need you to fill that box. If you can do more… that’s great, but their entire HR model is built on you being able to fill that box. This way no one person becomes irreplaceable. All the extra stuff is great, but all you needed to do was fill that box. One of the unfortunate knock-ons of this is that they become largely process dependent in which you need multiple people to be involved as gatekeepers to do what 1 person can do if they’re highly competent.
Smaller companies are not this way in many instances. They thrive on getting the most out of their employees and tend to reward talent and innovation. You take the added risk of a smaller company being less stable as well as the frustration of less jobs available at smaller companies and less career paths. If there’s only two teamleaders, your odds aren’t as good at moving up.
My advice… which when you couple it with about $3 will get you a cup of starbucks coffee, work on your soft skills. Play it just as if it’s a game. You’re not going to be held back because of soft skills at a smaller company and it opens up avenues. When I just get something and others don’t I make an effort to listen to what they’re thinking (no matter how much it may defy the laws of physics) and try to coach them into finding my way. If it’s not going to hurt anyone, it’s ok to be inefficient. Everybody is replaceable, but be the guy that nobody wants to have to replace not just because he’s good at his job, but because everyone enjoys working with him too.
It’s easy to find technically proficient people in a large pool and it’s easy to find good team members, but it’s hard to find someone who’s both.
