    Hey guys, a long time listener here, I love the show.

    \\n\\n

    I\\u2019ve recently joined an early-stage startup with a tiny engineering team. It\\u2019s like most startups at this stage, there\\u2019s some chaos and a lot to figure out. It\\u2019s exactly what I like about startups.

    \\n\\n

    In the past years, I\\u2019ve been working on the very same kind of software we\\u2019re building now. I have a ready answer for many questions we might have, I\\u2019ve seen some things go badly and others work great. I\\u2019m eager to help the team deliver.

    \\n\\n

    But I also don\\u2019t want to be seen as the know-it-all jerk that tells everyone how to do their job. I have respect for my team and want to contribute. How do I use my experience without annoying my colleagues?

    \\n\\n

    Thanks for sharing your wisdom (I hope for 101% of it).
