there are assholes at every job and there are two options here: Either they're controling pricks or they have an order of magnitude more information and you can't see what you're missing. I think the key will be if this start

I'm mostly seeking to get out of an autogenerated rut. Between Youtube and spotify I'm getting music chosen for me and I'm not sure how to escape. I feel like I can see through (hear through?) the algorithms that choose my ne

That's a good idea, different resume's tailored to different types of jobs. And the empathy piece of putting yourself in someone else's shoes. I'm finding it challenging to do that. I know tech leads as friends, but this

That's a good point. I've never been agains making well placed swearing part of a professional brand. It tends to communicate honesty* and takes people's walls down. Though I'll admit that particular WTF doesn't add
