I’ve worked on greenfield projects for so long (15+ years at this point) that my experience is the exact opposite. The few times I’ve had to contribute to an existing code base was a painful experience of figuring out where everything is, and why everything is done in such a weird way.

There is no better feeling than doing that first `git commit -m 'initial commit'`

In a way, it is interesting and a bit frightening to know that my experience is very different than most engineers are socialized and molded for team work and daily standups and code review which are alien (and scary) to me.
