Stoicism: Worry exclusively about the things you can control. The only things you can control are your own intentions. The behavior of others, the results of other's actions, and even the results of your own actions are all outside your control, and it is therefor unproductive to worry about them.
- hinkley 6y agoI had some really good luck early career influencing people. It took me quite a while to realize how much of that was luck and not talent. Teams are often more concerned with coherence than objective 'rightness', and they're not wrong to value it, but at the end of the day that really means that you should look elsewhere instead of being some sort of... I'm not sure what you'd call it. Vigilante? I should be looking for a new job, but I'm staying where I am because gestures at the world but also because I'm still figuring out how to ask about my non-negotiables during an interview, instead of assuming I'm going to renegotiate them once I start. You can talk junior developers into a lot of things. Senior developers push back.
