@FortniteStatus you must fix those weapon swap animations ASAP in BR. Use Shockwave, cannot swap/use weapons. Use squished, cannot do it either. Happen too often - this is crazy a low bar even for you guys.
@FortniteStatus results are not fetching in rank (BR ZB) regardless I return to lobby or restart the game, are my progresses gone or they will be reflected correctly at a later point in time?
The ability to create clarity when there’s no shortage of chaos, opinions, and competing priorities is a rare skill.
In any reasonably competent company, this skill alone will help take you quite far, fairly quickly.
Concretely, this means creating clarity on the main problems, clarity on the right solutions, and clarity on the action plan & priorities.
Very few people can do this well even though most people possess the intelligence necessary to do it.
This is because most people in the workplace have been conditioned to add more information, sound more clever, satisfy more stakeholders, and feign more precision & certainty than is possible.
Few understand that clarity in a chaotic situation can only emerge from subtraction, never from addition.
Clarity comes from communicating what stands out as most important, why it is most important, how it will be achieved, and last but not the least, giving people a way of thinking about why it is okay, even great, that we aren’t doing All The Other Things.
The most important career lesson to internalize after 10-15 years in tech is to make very intentional career choices, based on
1) what kind of life you want to create
2) your superpowers
3) what type of work energizes you
4) what type of people you love working with
You would think that folks with great titles who are managing massive orgs must be making very intentional career decisions.
But you’d be surprised by the degree to which many folks’ career choices are just driven by the tendency to follow the most attractive career path that their peers are following, and then justifying taking that path with logic after the fact.
This is mimetic desire at work, along with conformity bias.
Some other folks make their career decisions primarily based on what is easiest in the moment, with the chief goal of avoiding any and all discomfort. They always find a great logical explanation for their choice after the fact.
This is known as the affect heuristic, basically a form of confirmation bias.
So here’s the surprising thing:
When you make your career decisions with sincere intent i.e. based on a thoughtful, drama-free assessment of the 4 factors I listed above, you might end up making very different choices than the vast majority of your peers who have similar experience & capability.
And as you make more intentional career choices, you will feel strange at first.
Some well-meaning “mentors” will even urge you to reconsider your choices. And by all means you should be open to feedback. But only if the mentor has actually taken the time to ask you about your preferences for the 4 factors above. If they haven‘t, and they are still dispensing career advice, it is likely that your mentor is also following the herd without being aware of it. Such is the power of the herd.
The beauty of this approach is that your intentional career choices will compound.
You will do better work than you‘re used to doing. You will feel more connection to your work than you ever did. You might still have some tough times work-wise, but you won‘t be as fazed by them because you know The Why behind your actions.
And lastly, once you have seen the power of intent once, you will feel more confident & courageous when making your next career decision with intent.
You are now playing a game you can master, a game you‘ve chosen to play on your own terms — even as most of your peers remain confused for decades about what game they are even playing & about why you seem so serene as you play yours 😎
A constant challenge for me (and I suspect many others) is combating the fear, inertia, resistance of starting a difficult task. The more important it is, the greater the challenge. For creative people, this never stops. But it can be managed. Here’s how:

@dvassallo If as teached for an adult/mature person, agreed. Now it depends on how you are teached, I suppose. one of my 9yo kiddo is learning coding through Minecraft. He loves it and see value here, so he learns proactively.
