Thank you for saying this. I will admit that I did find these kinds of blog posts interesting at first, but the core of the thing just seems to be to have better social skills and listen more.
I think one of the reasons I found them pleasing to read is if I personally had some of the qualities mentioned in them... validation I guess. But I agree with you that these articles don’t provide much value.
- ThalesX 7y agoOh, here’s the recipe, I read some more blog articles on how to talk to people, and some more on how to pester people on the hallway to ask about stuff they might not care about, sprinkle some salt and pepper and this is me, the 10x product engineer. I only have about 10 bullet points separating me from the Product Gods! I think you’re right, validation is probably the #1 factor why these type of articles propagate. Like those ads where they tell you only geniuses can solve this: 2 + 2 * 2, and you click because you want to see who the morons are that arent’t a genius like yourself.
