@scarly What shit places have you been working at? Everyone is saying software engineering is filled with a toxic culture. I've worked at over 10 different shops, in 3 countries, in everything from gov to education to telecom, et al. I've been at 2 shitty shops, toxic only because of the work hours. There are bad people here/there, but that's every place and every field. I know some people who have gone through shit, but at the same time, the majority haven't. "rampant toxicity" is a lot of FUD.
