It’s a great read and a great advice.
There’s something I’ve noticed lately. The only thing that differentiates bad from great is time, and IMO talent is often mistaken with preference.
E.g. it’s not like great engineers become great by work and talent. The best I know love reading, talking, experimenting and exploring. In the evenings, over weekends. It’s time, but time over the preference.
I liked to ask people during job interviews what they find fun in computing and (anecdotally of course) even deep introverts have that spark in their eyes when they’re fascinated.
Edit: I also remembered that Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg talks about that topic. Good read and strategies there worked for me.
