This stood out as the most realistic advice in the story to me. I've seen a lot of people stuck working on stuff they don't like just because they're the one who knows the most about it. The farther you go down that path, the harder it is to get away.
- Kalium 8y agoThis one stood out to me as well. Like you, I agree that it's accurate. I've both seen and lived it. The others bother me because they're essentially malicious caricatures. This one feels like a dose of sympathy.
- mononcqc 8y agoYeah. They're malicious caricatures, but as mentioned in the text, they're all different sub-personalities I've at least had at some point in my career. Also do note that the text is heavily copying The Little Prince, to the extent that all characters are also malicious caricatures of adults, with only one of them actually being perceived positively, so I tried to play to the original.
