The endgame of competence is simple: you become so skilled, so resourceful, and so strategically embedded that whether it’s a company, a relationship, or a project, the rational move for everyone involved is to keep you, reward you, and bet on you, because losing you would cost them more than they’re willing to pay.

“Most founders learn more from the first week of doing than the first year of imagining.” — @hnshah #think
People fall in love with ideas because ideas never fight back. Execution does. It exposes your blind spots, your patience, your habits and your excuses. Most founders learn more from the first week of doing than the first year of imagining.

🚀♥️ #neverTooLate 👌🏼
Your entire life will change when you realize it’s never too late. You can wake up and choose to see things differently. You can completely reinvent your life. Too late is an internal fantasy, not an external reality. Every time you think it’s too late, it’s probably still early.

Underrated life lesson: Confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is built on resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you embrace that failure is never final.

The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New people. New career. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.

You can always tell someone who will be successful because they are so oddly different from everyone around them.

How/why? No one gives a fuck outside their own economic bubble (a.k.a. It's all about the money / economics incentives?!)? Or WTF is going on?

If you want to really enjoy software development, consider finding the smallest team possible, preferably with no dependency on other teams. Most of the suffering in the software industry is due to believing the mythical man month is true.

Your intelligence cannot be measured by a number. It is defined by your willingness to learn, solve problems and try new things. You are more than just a number. Develop your skills. Share your brilliant ideas. Your skills are more valuable than your grades. 🧠

I’m old enough to remember when Scrum gatherings were relevant to software developers.

Agree w Jono - remote work is great for some people and companies, and not others. If you do choose to build a fully remote team, you have to be very deliberate in how you build the team and culture. Many underestimate how hard it is to do remote well.
I disagree with @sama here. It really depends on the product and team. Some humans thrive remotely. Some thrive in an office. One thing is clear though: remote work needs very strong, intentional, and focused management and facilitation...otherwise it is doomed to failure.
