It's not their job to babysit you, maybe you should have asked for help if you were stuck?
The rest I agree with.

Great way to become one with TDD/Resharper/VS.

Especially the technology that you have a mis-informed or totally un-informed opinion on. Examples of this might include, Entity Framework, Linq to SQL, or Linq to NHibernate over Fluent NHibernate for those still writing all sorts of spaghetti code to map to SQL. Or ASP.NET MVC, NVelocity, or Spark for those that are still using pure asp.net webforms. Or pick up some patterns such as DDD, TDD, MVP for those still stuffing a 1000 lines of code into a code behind.

And for those stuck in one language (as can clearly see that I am!!) go out and pick up a different language to play with such as C, Java, PHP, etc.

The idea of a kata is a wonderful one. Take a simple task that you do daily, weekly, or monthly - and try to apply a different language or tool to the application of that kata.

However, people that do not like writing have to use an assistance of famous essay writing service and be satisfied with a success.

I meant "nice" not in a bad way. I meant that just because a team lead is nice doesn't mean they are good leaders.
"nice" only goes so far. there are other qualities and skills to look for.

A good team leader would always tell you the truth and wouldn't sugar coat it.
That doesn't mean a good team leader would need to be a complete a-hole either.

That might be your experience, but that's hardly a necessary condition.
