I'm a contractor, and I can't express it enough how much a competent Govie makes a difference on project success. My last Govie was amazing, unfortunately he got promoted. He got replaced with 2 new govies that were formally contractors, and they are the worst, they are dumb micro managers that don't even understand how our program operates. One of them litterally sends us emails of his Gemini questions and responses with highlights. The other leads and I are very competent and have all worked for 10+ years on our project, and he sends us fucking AI responses about shit he doesn't understand about shit we do understand. Our morale has been absolutely crushed, and I have a running chat with my other leads which is just a non stop bitch fest about how fucking useless they are.

The biggest pain in the ass I've dealt with was using a directshow lib to implement flash on a new camera we were supporting for a desktop application. Working with a device graph and pins is beyond frustrating. We're porting functionality to the Web and my dev working on the camera just needed to call capture image to trigger the flash.
