I hope you ran away from that company. Your change was too disruptive, because it made other people look stupid, like they didn't grok basic data structures. I think everyone overlooks obvious solutions to everyday problems every now a

use statically typed programming languages. Favor composition over inheritance . Develop bottom-up (reusable classes) instead of large-scale up-front design. SOLID principles (SRP being the most important). The Bottom-up approach also favo

With "standardized" game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity and somewhat standardized asset creation pipelines (PBR texturing) a team can start building a great looking game with good graphics and probably good performance by
