I really wanted to build great products and have a say in how they would be built. To thrive in ambiguity and find relationships between causality and features is an addictive feeling. What about you?
I loved using new apps and understanding how they worked. I still download new apps every week and see what new things are companies doing.
Eternal learning mindset is very important
I enjoy connecting dots, finding correlations. Realised over a period of time, my superpower is finding information out of thin air. Exploiting my super powers my making decent money & learning new things every day.
It is perhaps the most enjoyable part of the job
Same. And then I realised. What a trap this superpower is. Your manager expects you to be ready with answers 24x7. How many dots will you connect out of thin air? Even if 1 dot remains unconnected, that beautiful solution can quickly turn into a nightmare. If made live, then it's a personal disaster.
