There might be something to this. Work at a big company or any company really in an industry to find the anti-patterns or problems that you never knew. I have worked on systems for Healthcare communication, strategic marketing, online promotions and game development. Almost everything I am working now it based on problems or immense walls built up at companies in those industries that I wouldn't have had the insight to understand had I not taken the apprenticeship through anti-patterns via horrible political walled situations at other companies first. Also, every company has good patterns and anti-patterns that can be applied and work in many other situations. Maybe something can come from all the pain.
