Even though I had great internships and lots of early startup experience, what I wish I learned earlier was how to simply deliver reasonably with my current skill-level and use that to level up in an org. I'm much better with this now, but it pains me to realize I have friends that have now leveled way above engineering and have made it into management positions and I'm just sitting here as a senior + engineer at a loss for words. When I'm deeply interested in what I'm doing I can grind 18hrs a day like nothing and crank out really cool shit, but when it's not interesting I basically resort to scrambling to re-position or coast. If I actually developed decent leetcoding ability I'd like to think I could start avoiding this pattern?
