I hadn't read the article cited before and it hit home for me in some ways. I've been the guy to deal with tons of crap code that I hadn't ever seen before and fix that critical bug that was making it impossible to ship.
I'm also a pain sometimes if I don't get my way. Right now I care about page load times and features for our current customers and my management cares about these big initiatives. I see their point but that's not what I want to be doing so I have a hard time caring. It's not a good thing really but the things that I've done on my own have turned into major improvements to our technology and served our existing customers very well.
Not sure where I'm going with this but it sort of put some more perspective on some decisions I've felt as though I need to make about where to take my career. I've been coming to the conclusion that a startup is the only way I'm probably going to be happy at work for the short, medium, and long term.
