Confidence, Competence, & Gravity

Reader, I’d like to share three thoughts I had this morning with you.

These ideas are presented as if they’re specific to me, but the takeaways are generalizable for almost anyone. I hope you enjoy.

Game Selection

First, listen to the song “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll)” by AC/DC. You can find it here.

Even in the 70’s, it was a herculean task to reach AC/DC’s level of success as a rock group – countless bands with only room for a few to make it huge.

Magic

Software engineers often carry a strong disdain for magic.

Ironically enough, this is because they’re in one of the few professions where magic, for most intents & purposes, actually works.
