I think you can say that for any nascent / figuring-it-out industry.

The early days (late 90s / early 00s) of web development and web agencies was pretty much the same thing.

We were all learning as we went, there were very few senior people, and the company owners/leaders certainly didn't know any better than we did.

But we felt lucky to be doing this exciting and cutting edge work, so being at the office working was often the thing we _wanted_ to be doing the most.

The inmates ran the asylum, as they say..
