Im using it supercharge my life, what about the ppl who don’t?” Them: “America is the land of equal opportunity, NOT equal outcome.”” - @nnennahacks.com 211

nnenna hacks @nnennahacks.com · 31/03/2025Sometimes it feels like a crime to be different. Or to really embrace growth. You want to grow. Then you do. And then there’s crickets. You’re suddenly standing in an empty room. 110
nnenna hacks @nnennahacks.com · 31/03/2025There are some things I don’t need to be taught, as I understand them on an intuitive level. Therefore, it’s important for me to read content that affirms what I already naturally understand. Not just content that teaches me something I need to learn. Affirmation and validation matter. 000

Reposted by nnenna hacksCorey Ward @coreyward.dev · 06/03/2025Yuuuup. I despise "STAR" question formatting. The intent behind what they're asking for is fine, but the way they go about it makes everything far more awkward than necessary. I suspect it's a lot worse for neurodivergent candidates than NTs realize, but I don't have any evidence of that. 031

nnenna hacks @nnennahacks.com · 03/03/2025Time management is one thing to tackle. But energy management is the skill that seems to encompass all things internal. Where your mind and emotions wander can either steal time from you or get you to the next step. My calendar shows I’m doing X task, but my mind shows I’m ruminating. 010

nnenna hacks @nnennahacks.com · 02/03/2025A friend of mine once called me “intense.” And I didn’t really like that. But I think she’s right. And maybe in some ways that can be off putting. But I am intense when I want something, need to forge a new path for myself, need to rewire my brain to achieve a goal, need to be resilient, etc. 🤷🏽♀️ 000
nnenna hacks @nnennahacks.com · 02/03/2025I mustered up the courage to do Pilates today. It was difficult to get myself into the mood, but I somehow pushed through. Only 25 minutes, but that’s better than avoiding it. 🥲 000

Reposted by nnenna hacksShaundai Person @shaundai.com · 01/02/2025A goal of mine this year is to stop and celebrate myself. I never used to do it 🥴 So every 1st Saturday of the month is “Shaundai Day” The only rule of Shaundai Day is that I’m not allowed to do anything for anyone else unless it *also* benefits me. Nothing “selfless.” Just for one day a month. 161004

Reposted by nnenna hacksGergely Orosz @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com · 04/01/2025By the way this is why it's SO much easier to grow as a software engineer in a team where your manager is hands-on/technical. If they are: they understand the value (and cost) of going deep. They might even help! If they are not: they will see this as "slacking" or "being slow" 3614
Reposted by nnenna hacksGergely Orosz @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com · 04/01/2025It takes time, failing and learning to become an expert in anything. A programming language, a framework, a stack etc. I don't really know shortcuts 1251
Reposted by nnenna hacksGergely Orosz @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com · 04/01/2025This is so spot on. Two things: 1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep" 2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it. Figure out how to do both: it's tricky! 928242

It’s extremely important to advocate for yourself and speak to your accomplishments. The best way to do this is to maintain a brag doc and add to it throughout the year. 6424

The best operators aren't the smartest, they're the most ruthlessly focused and steeped in whatever their business does best. 81887
nnenna hacks @nnennahacks.com · 01/03/2025@bphogan.com I just read your latest issue of Code, Content & Career. On the topic of books being important in the “age of LLMs”, I couldn’t agree more. I will always rely on books for learning. Authors & their team are heavily vetted professionals. They are experts and provide sources of truth. 192
