I’d like to think I’m a good programmer and it takes me months to find a job. You’ll likely never meet me because I don’t go to conferences, I don’t network, and I don’t hang out with other programmers. (HN is one of two exceptions to that.)
Most people know me from furry events or furry writer Telegram groups. :)
- shanebellone 4y ago"I don’t go to conferences, I don’t network" I think this highlights a distinction between "the career engineer" and "the expert engineer". The former treats their career as a profession (invests in progression) while the latter masters their craft. Skill alone does not dictate trajectory; the career engineer intentionally charts their course forward.
