Definitely failed in that regard for this young engineer and I hope it fails similarly for my cohorts. Counter anecdote: I wish I had read this when I was a young coder starting out. Would have saved me much time and trouble. In fact, I think it would have spared me some of the jaded moments I've had when felt I wasn't progressing as much as I had expected. Want to see someone get jaded fast? Keep telling them that they just need to be really good at what they do and work hard and their value will be justly rewarded.
