A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept.
It takes shockingly little to out-slope 90% of the population. Even for people who pre-select into competitive fields, if you read 1 relevant book per month outside work, you’re waaaaay ahead of almost everyone. Add 1 interesting paper per month and you’re “that weirdo”.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoIn my experience, simply having read a work relevant book after college would put someone in the top 10% ! I mentor engineers and everyone thinks I'm the weirdo when I loan out a engineering text book to help them solve a problem. Others seem think learning is just for students. I can't see this ending well for my employer.
