Over the limits… start with a low bar and then show how much you can improve it. Millennial shit. Or start with a terrific design, exceed expectations, then play with variations. End up with something that is revolutionary.
Life is too short to play with bad designs and diversity hires who create stupid shit and make everyone sit through watching it fail and them look puzzled. Then say “oh well, good try, no one could have seen that coming. You’re awesome, try again.”
Much of college seems to be producing this mindset as of the last decades, I know people in software who tell the same story of college and various employment that is rinse and releat.
Find the very best of the best, give them whatever they want and stand back. Some of the greatest companies and and projects ever were this way.
I don't know, man. You sure sound like OP, and know your shit.
You might consider sending your resume to SpaceX. Looks like they would save lot of money in R&D.
I debated it for awhile, ended up going a different direction, then a waaaay different direction. Now my time is my own, the fruits of my labor my own, my ideas benefit those close to me. I chose to live close to the earth, and a good bit off the beaten path. I tell people, go watch the old Harrison Ford flick, the mosquito coast. That’s us.
