This is pretty cool, and one thing would really help out a layman like me would be maybe a summary/top-line-conclusions that you found as part of your reverse engineering at the beginning of the post.
Reminds me of artists, how do artists stand out when photography can do better capture of reality (and easier, and cheaper, etc.) than artists can. Artists had to re-invent (or re-discovered, re-focused, etc.) themselves in all kinds of ways like cubism, impressionism, surrealism, etc.
In the end, the criteria remains the same. The engineers that creates products other people would pay for. The engineers that can convince executives to pay them or let them do this and that freely. The engineers that are thought leaders and have wide audiences.
Anyway, at the micro level, I think "How to How" is still important. I believe in developers that can talk about their workflow in detail, how it evolved over time, etc. Really good engineers invest in the workflows of themselves and others. That's my benchmark before and still is even now.
I actually would argue that Hashimoto "left" earlier. He "stepped down" from the executive team July 2021 and became an individual contributor then. He likely lost interest/power a long time before 2023.
In a way, is the author advocating that the best way to get out of the rat race is to win at it?
Also, looks like the author is very different from the typical high school aged person. The author is clearly intelligent and highly motivated, they're also able to maintain good relationships with the people around them (teachers, internet friends, etc.), but if it was so easy, we would see more well-adjusted early graduates of the education system.
Hey guys, I sit next to George who is a real driving force in anything he does, including this one. He's letting me have the upvotes for this one but the GitHub project page is: https://github.com/olafurw/opssat-doom/tree/main
Hey, looking for a source for "about half the US economy is government spending these days". I've searched online for 2023 and I'm seeing a pretty okay 23% for government spending.
Right now, what's most important to me is getting the permanent residency. I think many people are in the same situation. They made a goal of something (in my case immigration to the United States), and the meandering paths just falls off in terms of feasibility for such plans. I'm not against the article by any means, but I think for people like me, we already found what matters, and "meaning" or "fulfillment" is an extravagance in comparison.
Side note: this is very interesting but I felt like I've read this article before, maybe someone else already written about Todd Rose and Ogi Ogas?
Interesting, because this is similar to a Chinese cultivation novels, or what is known as xianxia genre, trope. Usually, characters live in different “realms” and they have to train/fight/be lucky to “reach a higher realm” where the rules are different (usually means the pressure/danger/ambient-absorbable-energy is higher).
NYC resident here, this is simply not true. Yeah of course there are gardens and bushes that are fenced off but most of the grass and dirt you can walk and lie on if you wish.
