I ran across this interesting article this morning. It’s long, but a very worthwhile read.
While there is a lot more to it, I came away from it with 2 realisations:
- To get better at something, it must be difficult.
- The longer you work on something, the easier it gets.
Just something to think about over the weekend.
I haven’t read the article yet, but I have it queued up in my browser. On point #1, I had heard a variation of it as never take a job that you’re absolutely confident, take the one that you’re a little bit intimidated by. Some minor food for thought.
And congrats again on the MVP! I didn’t know you were an RP’er, hopefully that might ensure you get the Black Adder reference that I left at SSC.
Interesting variation, and one I would agree with. It’s one of the reasons I’m leaving my current company. It’s now too easy.
I’m actually not a Black Adder fan. Doesn’t matter, I’ll look the ref up later.
