> I've had numerous pointless discussions about why I wrote a specific piece of code where (a junior dev) the assessor just wanted me to do things by the book as he learned it, not really understanding why I did it that way. But there was no way to convince him, it ended up in an unresolved conflict that I only could solve by messing up my code to his taste. I've left the place I worked at for over 3.5 years over stuff like this adding up. Starting at my new job in a few weeks, getting paid more than I did at my previous job and will be working with people more senior than in my previous team. All in exchange of the rapport I've built over 3.5 years.
