"Careers (and lives) are non-linear. Occasionally their trajectories don’t make sense. They may even outright disappoint, in the moment. The silver lining is, they give us unique skills and experience that someone in the world wants if only we can find them."

Careers are non-linear

David Hoang, Should managers be technical?: Career development looks more like unlocking attributes for a different subclass in a role-playing game, than picking a distinct class that can never change. It’s not a path. It’s a collection of skills and attributes focused on certain outcomes. Applying foundational skills is heavily contingent on your role and responsibility. 👍🏻 Careers, management or not, aren’t straight lines. The skills you need for your career aren’t a tree with one root.

Wow OpenAI is having a hard couple of days. I had their status page open since yesterday, yes, I'm building a thing that uses their API. Yesterday I just worked on other parts of the thing using cached results I'd already built into the workflow. Returned to their status page tab today and hit refresh fully expecting everything to be ok again and it appears to be worse.

February Morning Ride

6:15 alarm. Hit snooze twice Wake up a few minutes after second snooze, a few minutes before 6:30 alarm Assess painful foot. It hurts worse than it has in the last week or so. Decide to go ahead with ride. I don’t want to bail on my friend. How much worse could it get? Brush teeth Go downstairs, turn on coffee maker. Carissa had set it up the night before. Grateful. Ignore begging cats so they don’t accidentally get two breakfasts. Pour coffee Go back upstairs Start getting “kitted up”, as we say Socks Foot brace Leg warmers Thermal bibs Chamois creme Merino baselayer Arm warmers Jersey Head back downstairs, carrying the rest of my kit Fill water bottle Realize I forgot to grab my jacket. Go back upstairs for jacket. Head back downstairs. Finish kitting up Windproof socks on Shoes on Realize I’m missing one toe warmer. Consider going without, but Carissa is up and pouring her own coffee, so I ask her to look if I’d dropped it between the stairs and the back door. She ends up going all the way upstairs for it. Grateful again. Toe warmers on Jacket on Merino cap on Helmet on Open garage door Get bike down from wall rack. I almost always make sure the bike is ready to go the night before. I don’t leave time to mess with it in the morning, and that kind of thing is less “fun” in the cold. Turn bike computer on Turn rear light on brightest flashing setting. The sun has come up. Don’t need the headlight. Close garage door Open gate Start ride on computer Gloves on Pedal
