Definitely a big thing for me. I've spent a couple of years as the "smartest person in the room". As much as it's great to teach, but it's even better to learn. Or maybe that's just me. The skill gap has been huge though - me plus a team who learned "on the job".

Putting in the best-practice and infrastucture to do a good job was interesting though. We've gone from zip files on a network share to automated builds an CI, and the CI tool even generates the final release ZIP files and test reports. From bug tracking in Word to bug tracking in Jira...

And on a budget of "zero or as close as possible" too.
