What's the super power of 35-year-olds? Arthritis?
- xyzelement 3y agoCompared to my 25 and 15 year old self, my 35 (now 40) self is a lot wiser in terms of dealing with people, applying humility and being crisp on the wide gulf between "what I find is worth doing at the moment" and "what's valuable." I think these are all hugely valuable and serve me well.
- Solvency 3y agoLLMs are increasingly good at your 40 year old soft social skills like humility, so don't bank on that being worth much very long.

- rewgs 3y agoViewing things like wisdom, patience, discipline, and humility as both "soft" and "skills" is one of the single most problematic aspects of the tech industry.
- etothepii 3y agoI was as young, arrogant and naïve as you once.
- dbish 3y agoMore reps/iterations to learn from
- biztos 3y agoReduced arrogance.
- ascorbic 3y agoExperience. Contacts. Money.
