I know that feel, bro. especially as a webdev.

the field is dominated by corporate marketing, cargo-cultism, resume padding, reinventing the wheel and fixing what isn't broken.

since I've chosen this as my career 8 years ago or so, I've managed to get by without ever dealing with someone else's bullshit.
