If I had to articulate why I feel the need to do certain things my way, against all advice by people who think they know a better way, I'd boil it down like this: There are things that I see as important to the core idea of the company that nobody else understands. If they did, they'd have seen the need for the company and done it themselves. Its more than just a vision. It's like a hologram. Anyone can see the image, but the founders see the fringe pattern.

I see why all the hidden elements need to be just so or the whole thing is meaningless.

Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass, but it's rare to find someone that truly gets things rather than just going through the motions. If you do, its likely they have their own idea.

It feels like every decision I make gets resistance from people who live their lives in mediocrity. If they really knew the best course of action they'd be the one in charge and I'd be the one trying to give the mediocre advice.

I'm so tired, but nobody else is going to do it right.
