Interesting thing on Google's hiring practices:
"I like to hire people who have two traits. They’re smart, and they get things done."
"Smart people who aren’t closers tend to flail. Small startups get rid of these people fast because they stand out. But sometimes they can find a place to hide in larger organizations where they fester like a cancer."
I freely admit thats me. And that the problem. I don't want to be a cancer. I know I don't execute, and I don't expect to get paid for failing at it. Which is probably why I'm working drudge work. I know I won't let anyone down. It allows me peace of mind with what I do.
