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.

This question doesn’t make sense in my case. I coded on Commodore computers as a kid. I got a history degree in college. Then I fixed motorcycles. Then I did fine art photography. Then I made web sites. Then I got more into coding. I’ve used Adobe apps for almost 30 years. https://t.co/LV2FbTYMY4— Ken Kocienda (@kocienda) October 23, 2022

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.

Hmm… yeah… frustrations and setbacks. I got a history degree, then went to motorcycle mechanics school, worked at a newspaper, taught English in Japan, went to grad school, and worked at 5 tech jobs without much success. I joined Apple on my 35th birthday. It can take a while. https://t.co/31FwGy22ND— Ken Kocienda (@kocienda) September 19, 2022

Something tells me that it being promoted into a way of assessing “profile quality” by recruiters who have no design knowledge or time to talk to candidates has certainly not helped.— Ana (@dingbats__) September 18, 2022

8) Create a "digital bench"Build a curated library of talented people who do what you can't. Keep a list of other designers, developers, illustrators, copywriters, and strategists who you can call upon to 10x your projects.— Nick Pattison (@nick__pattison) May 18, 2022

“I talked to a super smart 20 year old this week.
All the potential in the world, but had a major major flaw in his thinking.
This flaw is becoming the most common mistake I am seeing young people make early in their career.

Some people think UX design is just doing the facilitation or research work like personas and empathy mapping, etc. etc. and there are lots of bootcamps which teach only those things.— Helen Tran (@tranhelen) September 10, 2022
