While trying to solve a problem, SIA doesn't just improve it's abilities by updating it's harness, it updates it's own weights as well.

"The courage to start.
The discipline to focus.
The confidence to figure it out.
The patience to know progress is not always visible.
The persistence to keep going, even on the bad days.
That's the formula."

Lesson 1: Brand names are the only things that matter on a resume
Lesson 2: Everything else is fluff
Work to get a strong brand name. It’s easier said that done but is the only predictable path to a fruitful career.

Not nearly enough is said about the effects of unsuccessful job searches on your mental health.
I don’t care how good your skills are or how strong your resume is…you can only be ignored for so long until the damage is done and the trauma is a part of you.
Work for FAANG companies 😊 They are not going anywhere.
You know those 100s of million $s raised by Fintech, Ed tech...? I thought most of it went to founder teams, or employees, or some such.
Saw some data - ~60% of the raise eventually goes to... Google and Facebook (CAC)! Followed by Amazon (AWS). Talk about Big Tech.
