@WadexFlash If we're playing hypotheticals, wonder how far ahead Curry would've been if he didn't have to miss all those games early in his career when he used to have a lot of ankle injuries.
When I start the day with even just 1 hour of focused work, it just automatically keeps me locked in for the rest of the day.
Staying away from what I call “junky dopamine” is the key to discipline and consistency atleast for me.
@adxtya_jha Not yet but working towards correcting the mistakes of 2024, had gained so much theoretical knowledge that I got stuck in tutorial hell and everything got messed up in my head, now fully focused on building things, things are getting clear now, frontend is still pain though
At this point I feel so incompetent and lacking confidence, that I feel embarrassed texting some amazing people I've met so far in college because they are so far ahead and I'm still stuck and lost 😔
Was out and about last 4 days, needed the break.
Back to work but this time with a better sleep schedule, if I'll be able to successfully follow this routine, will share it here, a bit unrealistic but I'll make it real.
Hopefully I'll get to taste success some day.
Working with a timer by my side is helping me realize how inefficient I am.
By every passing day I am doing more and more focused work and wasting less time due to the timer.
To the graduates of the class of 2025: congratulations on landing your first job!
Unfortunately, you’re going to have to quit.
Not right now, but soon. For some of you it will be in six months; for others it might be in a year or two. But eventually, nearly all of you are going to have to give notice.
Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with you. It happens to every newly employed graduate. And ironically, the smarter you are and the harder you work, the more quickly it will happen.
Here’s the problem: You’re going to outgrow everyone’s expectations.
That’s unfortunate, because you’ve been raised and taught to “exceed expectations” and almost all of you will do so. But this won’t be because you are so talented. It will be because everyone’s expectations are so low.
They just don’t expect that much of you. But why should they? You don’t know anything! Sure, you’ve taken a bunch of classes, you’ve done the homework, you know the theory, and maybe you even squeezed in a summer internship. But you’ve never done it for real. You’re basically clueless.
They will expect you to learn quickly, but since they know your productivity is going to be low for a while, they aren’t going to pay you much.
Then an amazing thing will happen.
You’ll start to figure things out. You’ll understand how all the theory you learned applies to the real-world problems you’re solving.
You’ll see how the pieces come together so you can finish more and ask for help less. And little by little, you’ll earn that real world merit badge called “competence”.
But here’s the problem: in your mind, you’re now 90% as productive as the person with the better title and the much higher salary.
But in everyone else’s mind, you’re still just a newb…a slightly more productive newb for sure, but a newb nonetheless.
So when you confidently walk into your boss’s office to ask for a promotion and a raise, they’ll tell you how great you are, how much they value you, and because you’ve done such an exceptional job, you’re going to be offered…wait for it…a 10% raise! They’ll tell you how proud you should be of that. “It’s more than double the average raise the rest of the employees are getting!” they’ll say.
If you’re disappointed at this point, you should be. Because you’re not 10% better than you were on day one. You are orders of magnitude better.
And while your current employer will disagree with that assessment, you know who won’t? A new company.
At your next employer, you won’t be judged by who you were. Instead, they’ll see you—and pay you—for who you are and who you will be before too long. They won’t be obsessing over what you were paid before and how big of a raise you are getting, but instead will be considering what you know right now, and what you can contribute.
You dominated the game like no other.Without you, the whites will never be the same. You will always be my GOAT.Go well,Skipper.Thank you for the memories. Thank you for making my childhood so memorable.Adieu, Cap #269.
