If you start to view yourself as a business vs. an easily-replaceable-one-of-thousands individual your career takes an entirely different shape. the entire system from the ground-up is setup to convince you that you are an individual and you need to go find a job and work like everyone else (hopefully with hefty student loan and other debts) and in our industry be treated like cattle and be subjected to some crazy interview process where you have to hack on some sh*t no one cares about. if you start thinking about yourself as a business your goals become more like “how do I make myself profitable, how do I get to the point where another business cannot effectively operate without my services.” is this a lottery? maybe… this is easier said than done but I would rather spend my career in this chase than be an employee somewhere where 99% of my peers don’t know my name
