This feels honestly like my whole career. Just get to a point of competence and then get an offer you can't refuse.
- hinkley 4y agoThe best I can say is try not to keep coming into the same point in the lifecycle of each new company, and try to pay attention to things you didn't last time instead of just jumping into your comfort zone. It can help seeing people struggle with tech debt or bad decisions you had nothing to do with, if you can put yourself into the shoes of the person who did it. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others. But it does mean you have to do a little more sleuthing than the typical postmortem that just blames everything on an engineer who quit six months ago. That's facile, and neglects the contributions of people who still work here and/or think the same way.
