a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

Facts. People may joke about the rigidity of Protocols, but protocols work. Protocol 1 is to decide what’s non-negotiable each 24hrs.

There will be moments in your life when people will ask you, "so, what do you do?"

You will smile uncomfortably, because you know you have nothing to show. At least, not yet.

This, is what a great, risky adventure feels like.

People will judge you, they will smirk at you, they will act condescendingly and give you unsolicited advice, and you will start doubting yourself.

You will see your peers gradually accumulate more and more signs of "conventional success."

You will wonder whether you haven't been wasting all the past few years working in the wrong direction.

If you don't have the mental strength to handle it, don't start the entrepreneurial journey.

If it turns out that you were right, you will eventually look back one day, and you will shiver at the idea of the alternative, "safer" path that you almost took.

The greatest rewards are reserved to those equipped with enough courage, mental resilience, and long-term clarity.

An ambitious path isn’t just about personal growth, getting wealthy, connecting with interesting people.

It’s also about finding peace of mind, because you know every day that you aren’t wasting your time.

Here's a reminder if you're planning goals for 2023:

Excitement helps you start.
Discipline helps you finish.

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer.

This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering.

Why do we all agree on this?
