I'm an SDE-3 at UST.
- Building new software products.
- Optimizing slow code/architecture, simplifying complex systems and making everything future-proof. I can spend hours on code (or even days) if I have a somewhat clear goal.
- Learning about new solutions and mental models.
- Reading & journaling.
- Grit produces results that compounds.
- Learning things is not a barrier for people. A human can learn anything and produce incredible results
- Experience is a bad metric to judge knowledge.
- Enthusiasm and environments matter.
