I am not the sort of person who worries a lot about their career growth. I never was a manager and I was always happy to just quietly hack on interesting problems. If you can find the right corners to work in, Google is a pretty great place for that kind of attitude. Tech Notes: Leaving Google

If you are leading and or managing a team, one of the most important things you need to know are how do people want their feedback. My experience is that it varies from person to person (I suspect that there are many more than two camps :-)) and as such it is unlikely that you can meet that need in group feedback.

The Visitor The coming of a person is, in fact, a tremendous feat. Because he comes with his past and present and with his future. Because a person’s whole life comes with him. Since it is so easily broken the heart that comes along would have been broken ― a heart whose layers the wind will likely be able to trace, if my heart could mimic that wind it can become a hospitable place. That poem in ‘Because This Is My First Life’ – 반짝반짝 한국어

But then I moved. Moved to the big city, a place filled with people themselves big on compliments. My upbringing had left me underprepared for these changes. Even something as simple as receiving praise was complicated. There certainly were times when my soul would be lit up with joy. But other times, my feelings were murkier. The compliment left me feeling weirdly uncomfortable. How to Compliment | Less Penguiny

My relationship to compliments in those days was simple: I didn’t give any and I didn’t receive any either. Talking openly about feelings - or heaven forbid - giving praise - simply wasn’t the norm. This was especially so with the older generation, people like my granddad. How to Compliment | Less Penguiny

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.

Being misunderstood is a great temporary moat. I could write a book on this, but suffice it to say, I didn't have confidence in my own vision until I took the time to really look at others and realized that the main difference between me and the average idiot was that I had bothered to look at the ideas of other idiots at all. It was like their entire ontology had become an ant farm. It was the moment I realized, I am a super-idiot. I only half joke, because becoming a super-idiot liberated me from the perfectionism and the addiction to approval that caused a stultifying and primal narcissistic fear of criticism. If you are struggling with this, take it from someone on the other side of it: It's ok, you're an idiot. The Strength of Being Misunderstood | Hacker News

Well, that's what this series is going to be about. How, what you think the universe is and how you react to that, in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes.And that is as true for the whole of society as it is for the individual. We all are what we all know today. What we knew yesterday was different. And so were we. The day the Universe changed
