đ What I Read
Write for Yourself, and Wisdom Will Follow
This post from More to That summarizes a lot of the reasons why I write, and why I recommend writing to others. The âGold Mine of Wisdomâ and the âMine of Everyday Eventsâ were both metaphors that hit home for me.
The Arc of Collaboration
This Kevin Kwok essay is from last summer but itâs well worth revisiting in this new world of increased remote work. Itâs clear that remote collaboration has come a long way, but still has a long way to go.
Reflecting on My IC Path
This post reminded me of a pretty important shift of perspective that I had this past year. Your level is a lagging indicator. In order to reach the next rung of the ladder, you should be aiming to perform above your current role, not at it.
My Billion Dollar Mistake
Another âoldie but goodieâ from Hiten Shah. This is a reminder I need every once in a while. I love throwing out idea after idea, but as Hiten found out, prioritization and focus are just as important, if not more so.
đ„ What I Found Interesting
New York Applauds
Iâve been sticking this thing out in New York for the last few weeks, and every night, you hear the applause outside for those on the frontline doing their part in the fight. Hard not to get chills.
đ€ Quote I'm Pondering
âTruth is, young creative minds donât need more ideas, they need to take more responsibility with the ideas theyâve already got.â â Scott Belsky
