17 of the commits was when I was driving.
I honestly think it's time for a career change.
I'm not saying only my way works.
But I don't trust this code. I don't like this way of working.

Yeah, I'd imagine so. There's an ocean of difference between how fast these places can go. For example, using ai with modern techniques (deploying once a week or more) vs, oh, taking a year for the org to decide to buy the pro version of a needed dependency for their own app...
