Here’s a meta question to the author: Having been around the circuit once, do they at least feel a little more humble about their opinions this time around, or are they just as strong but only in a different direction? :-) IMHO, while the author has undoubtedly grown wiser, I think there’s just as much truth to their earlier opinions as the later ones; the value lies in being able to disambiguate the context in which each is valuable — not so much in trading one set of opinions for another. That humility, to me, is the bigger takeaway.

It did take me a while to write this (~20 hours, I think) because I kept worrying about that exact problem, and I kept catching myself writing generic advice rather than concrete experiences. I tried as much as possible to only write things where I could think of multiple concrete examples in my own experience.

  Your writing was very good and the time you spent on it was clear to me, this was exceptional.
