It means it’s important to be in a role where you are respected, recognized and rewarded. Sometimes despite tenure, it’s better to leave and accelerate your career trajectory versus staying where you’ve been written off. 727048

It teaches us structure, systems thinking, abstractions and problem decomposition. If you don’t learn those skills, AI won’t make you productive, it’ll make you dependent. 1247

Top level SREs really are elite level problem solvers and trouble makers of the highest order. Many are trans, queer, or at the very least, care about LGBTQIA people, and will end you if you talk disrespectfully about them. 527067
