If it’s accurate that only 7% of people in creative fields are from a working class background I suppose this really helps to explain—in part—why Fisher’s vampire castle essay was met with such frustration and ridicule.— Daniel Tutt (@DanielTutt) December 21, 2022

Absolutely. In my old job I was emailing a lot of high-up people and we were taught a very specific formula:1. Why are you emailing them2. What do they NEED to know3. What specific answers do you need from themAnd if you can fit #1 in the subject line, even better.— Elmo Henderson (@venmohenderson) November 21, 2022

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.
Startups are (by necessity) filled with generalists; big companies are filled with specialists. People underestimate how effective a generalist can be at things which are done by specialists. People underestimate how deep specialties can run. These are simultaneously true.
The hardest problem in B2C is distribution. The hardest problem in B2B is sales.
Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution.
nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

There are plenty of ways to stand out as a junior engineer without taking a back seat. A few that worked for me:1. When you’re faced with an unfamiliar problem, break it down into smaller problems.
