I can attest that exposure to quite dysfunctional environments have hardened my technical skills to a level which currently opens one opportunity after another. What other people shy away from, I eat for breakfast and be done with it.

Many years ago, I found the character of the "The Wolf" in pulp fiction fascinating: a person who basically does normal, regular things in dysfunctional environments and charges a premium for that. I love when people call me, when the project is overdue, when nothing seems to work, when they ran out of options. Strangely, I seem to thrive in these settings.
