Deciding What to Build

Everyone got excited they can suddenly code, and completely missed the point. Here's the thing nobody wants to say out loud: deciding what to build has always been a bottleneck.

Chase impact, not the salary ceiling. And if your job consistently has you shipping into the void, leave." - Kasper Junge
