Totally agree, it's mainly because of my interests in personal growth that I've actually been able to grow effectively in my career and education. but I also feel like it seems a tad contrary to traditional goal setting frameworks out there where you try to orient around a measurable outcome (like SMART goals). Or at least that's the way it can sometimes feel.

Well said. Working on going deeper in Applied AI (and Calisthenics outside of work).

After delivering a few miracle projects, I was just terminated sadly by a disgruntled skip + new em after transferring teams to work for a mentor who left for fb the week I transferred. Trying to use this time to find a better home that would allow me to combine my infra/plat focus with 7+ years of ml experience. I’m certainly humbled by leeting again, hoping for the best to avoid losing the home we just purchased.

A Life Engineered
Most people chase money. The smartest people chase growth.
Growth leads to money but the opposite is not true.
Everyone wants:
- A fat salary
- A high status job title
- The feeling of being the top dog in the room
But the best careers aren’t built on chasing these things directly.
They’re built on compounding skills.
Nobody can take education, knowledge, and skills away from you.
If you
- Pick jobs based on the talented people you’ll work with
- Prioritizing on projects based on how much you’ll learn
- Constantly educate yourself with high-value skills
then you’ll get what you want by doing things you control.
Focus on what actually makes you better and the good things will come.
Focus on the outcomes and you’ll chase your tail.
What skill are you actively working on right now?
