I've encountered very few "bad" devs in my career. I have encountered far more people who were being asked to do jobs which had way too many competing concerns and impossible tradeoffs, to deliver too big a scope on too short a deadline with too small a team.

@nateberkopec IME the only way to be perceived as a “good dev” in a chaotic company is to somehow embrace the chaos! Not everyone can, or should, allow that to happen.

It relies on your own internal safeguards and whether you feel you can help that company improve.

OTOH, chaotic devs can thrive in such environments without even realising it is chaotic! And maybe that’s okay if it works for all involved. 🤷‍♂️
