I found that to be a turning point in my life after working a few years at a real job at a respectable place and realized holy shit even the big places are full of people that have no idea what they are doing and lots of stuff is just winging it. Its really scary when you realize it.

I found it reassuring. It turns out winging it mostly works! The systems still run in spite of flaws.
