We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
15 years of growth and low interest rates taught an entire generation of people in tech that the way to have an impact is to become a manager and grow your empire as soon as possible.
Management is a noble profession: you are responsible for the growth and careers of the people on your team and that is an important job that has to be taken seriously.
But the centrality of management to having an impact is now massively over-estimated.
To state the obvious, ICs are the only ones who do the actual work. Management is just infrastructure to help them be more effective.
And more importantly, with the tools now available and the way that orgs are designed, a single person can have a hugely outsized impact. The concept of a "10x engineer" is twenty years old. It can now be 20x, 50x, or 100x and applies to almost every function, including on the business side.
I've watched people single handedly drive an insight in just a few weeks that led to years of angle-changing results.
That is noble too.
