As someone who is now skewing towards the older side of the tech world (55 this year). It’s a journey. There isn’t some point where you’ll suddenly find you are now “wise” and understand yourself. Those moments do appear - but a few years later you’ll likely realise that it was only relevant for that time of your life and things have changed. What might have worked and served you well then may not be the right thing for now. Getting locked into a way of thinking or behaving is a recipe for being old before your time. Try and apply the agile principles - do a retro - is it still working, what should keep doing, what should you stop doing? And - the best time to start doing something good is now. Doesn’t matter if you should have done it 20 years ago. Regret can be disabling. Try and be nice to people. We don’t know what is happening in other people’s worlds. [edit] And be kind to yourself. Self compassion is underrated. Forgive yourself. You are human. Not perfect. And you don’t need to be. Show yourself some love.
