The same story has been unfolding since late 2010: my most promising hires all move on within 3-5 years, sometimes sooner. Just this month my best engineer quit on me, although not entirely unexpected.
After having pulled my ass out of a few fires over the past 18 months, she’s…
Maybe. But I’d rather set seemingly insane goals for myself as opposed to ones that I know I can knock out. Goals you know you can accomplish aren’t goals, they're just tasks, and while tasks get the job done they don’t force growth.
Go big or go home. Set insane…
Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve loved earning my own money. Paper route, pizza delivery, lawn mowing, etc. My goals were simple, make enough money to buy the crap I wanted that my parents (rightfully so) wouldn’t waste their money on.

I’m not sure what’s happening across the workforce, but everyone in my office seems to have slipped into a hole.

I was in the U.S. Marine Corps many lifetimes ago, and I still do some software work that is peripherally associated with the USMC, giving me fairly regular contact with Marines. This work also dovetails with other people in the “diplomacy has failed” communities. …
I’ve cleaned up my feed considerably through the liberal use of the “Block this author” menu option. I don’t even want to pretend it’s something I gave much consideration.

I’ve been preparing for this my entire life. I know I’m not alone because I have met people like me.

It’s time for us to do our thing and take over the world of work.
For no particular reason, I…
