Just remembered a talk from other day. It was how folks aren't making themselves accountable on what they do. You should be able talk about what you've done, and I think that's what makes a great dev.

3/4 time signature... Instant bounce. Trust.

I'm super early into my career and one thing that wasn't intuitive for me before that I can kind of understand now is how the better engineers are the ones that are good at stripping design down to the bare minimum.

You can’t outwork the whole world. There’s always going to be someone somewhere willing to work as hard as you. Someone just as hungry. Or hungrier.

Assuming you can work harder and longer than someone else is giving yourself too much credit for your effort and not enough for theirs. Putting in 1,001 hours to someone else’s 1,000 isn’t going to tip the scale in your favor.

What’s worse is when management holds up certain people as having a great “work ethic” because they’re always around, always available, always working. That’s a terrible example of a work ethic and a great example of someone who’s overworked.

A great work ethic isn’t about working whenever you’re called upon. It’s about doing what you say you’re going to do, putting in a fair day’s work, respecting the work, respecting the customer, respecting coworkers, not wasting time, not creating unnecessary work for other people, and not being a bottleneck. Work ethic is about being a fundamentally good person that others can count on and enjoy working with.

So how do people get ahead if it’s not about outworking everyone else?

People make it because they’re talented, they’re lucky, they’re in the right place at the right time, they know how to work with other people, they know how to sell an idea, they know what moves people, they can tell a story, they know which details matter and which don’t, they can see the big and small pictures in every situation, and they know how to do something with an opportunity. And for so many other reasons.

So get the outwork myth out of your head. Stop equating work ethic with excessive work hours. Neither is going to get you ahead or help you find calm.

@CodeEdison Working on my hobby solo has allowed me complete freedom. But I can't lie, working within a team has allowed to learn things a lot faster and more effective than if I were alone. Tbh it's def a balance of both that I like.
