I see myself in this.
I am being labeled as superstar.
The thing is that I am very quick to understand things and can get a prototype working from a new thing we want to do in a week or two.
This way I know a little of of everything that goes on and when something breaks I am the one who can effectively debug and solve things.
Others can too of course but for me it is usually <1 hour while for others it would take at least the whole day.
I am passionate about my work and proffesion but on other hand don't want to be the albatross you are talking about
- jkaptur 4y agoThen you need to bring your talents to bear on how to make others as good as you are at these things. Mentor, pair, teach, write, etc.
- thegrimmest 4y agoThis would imply that everyone has a similar capacity and willingness to learn, and that a capable IC's time is best-spent mentoring and documenting. I'm not sure these things hold true all the time.
- imwillofficial 4y agoNot all the time, but often enough to be good advice for the large majority of the time. If the place is on fire? Maybe not. The rest of the time? Spreading that knowledge is a force multiplier.
- alex_suzuki 4y agoMaybe consider freelancing or launching your own company. It sounds like you’re cut out for it. It’s riskier than a steady job of course, but it sounds like you might be getting a bit too comfortable.
