Does anyone else think this reads like a horoscope? As in, it’s quite likely that this applies to most people reading it to some degree. Not many jobs (at least in my SWE space) are directly linear and require a variety of tasks.
- zxexz 4y agoThat was my takeaway. Reading it feels like it describes me perfectly, which is often a dead giveaway for something being horoscope-like IME. I think it mostly describes the sort of people you find at early stage startups. Which isn’t everyone, for sure. I’ve often been described as a “fixer” - you get something working, you build an MVP, etc. then you move onto something else. I’d say that’s at least 1/3 of engineers at a standard startup. But, that’s just my experience!
