I feel like I'm wasting my time here if no one wants to learn or discuss how to improve things in a concrete way.

One of my coworkers flat-out said he "Just here for a job and to go home at the end of the day." No curiosity, not interested in learning, and they don't have a software development background.

I'm looking for contacts in other departments, making notes of what sort of pain points there are at-scale, and trying to meet people who are outside the department.
