How can you learn anything in a chaotic and disorganized environment? Either nobody has time to teach you anything, because everything is chaotic and disorganized and they need to fix it, or they are the reason everything is messed and you don't want to learn from that.

I feel that you would be much better off learning the right way to do things first, then going somewhere that is chaotic and seeing why best practices are in fact best. Much harder to unlearn the wrong way than just learn the right way in the first place if you ask me.
