The End of Software Engineers
The first symptoms that something was up was the realization that I had been earning the same money for the last decade. I used to feel rich.
I guess the point to this post is - don’t be a sheep. Don’t do sheep actions. Don’t follow the herd for safety. Don’t make decisions looking backwards.
Be still. Listen. Watch.
Make your own assessments on where the world is going. Make decisions and have a reason for making them. Over a decade, you will start to build conviction in your decision making abilities.
Learn from your mistakes.
Know that it takes time for investment decisions to manifest - a long time. If you are impatient, learn to be patient.
Use first principles reasoning to think.
Live an intentional life. Manifest.
I’m off to enjoy the mountains on some Quads and Dirt Bikes with my children today - have a great weekend.
