The Grind Won't Get You There

And remember: Don’t grind on something the company doesn’t value. Hard work is not rewarded. Outcomes are rewarded.

The best engineers go for the cracks in the system. They find what isn’t working and fix it. Take on the conversations nobody’s having. Ask the questions people aren’t asking. Build features that customers need but don’t think to request. Create frameworks where others copypaste. Make tools where others schlep.
