When I get into something new, there is a 95% chance at some point I will consider working there…wherever there or that is.
This feels a bit like the first time I tweeted :) I feel pressure to make it special and have big meaning, but alas, it's just a small step in what I hope will be a long journey here.
Not sure if anything changed my approach to work and engineering in the past five years more than this passage from @Lethain, written in the context of staff engineering but much more broadly applicable.
Amongst everything, snacking does need to happen. There are tasks that are low/low but fit into some level of required bureaucracy - the goal should be to force them into intentional blocks during the course of a day or week.
The lure to complete something “right now” can be strong when working on something larger and more long-term. This is a great reminder to be intentional about your work and be cognizant of the decisions you are making about it.
