Everybody is having to go around acting like a damn full-stack ghost in the civilization alone machine at age 19. It is ridiculous. I had like 1 skill and 0 areas of knowledge at 19. Now at 44, I have maybe 2 skills and 1 area of knowledge. I’m not a full-stack anything.

I can write. I can do some math. I understand management for tech companies well enough to help people with ut, that’s it. I can *talk* about more, and amateurishly do a few more things well enough for my own needs, but that’s not the same thing as being useful to others.

If I put that on a resume it would look really stupid. Maybe we need a movement towards absolutely minimalist capability/knowledge descriptions in resumes/CVs/LinkedIn... not everything can be reduced to show-over-tell GitHub commit history but we can get closer

I've stopped bothering. Faking it, like networking, looks way to much like working. I prefer to just do real work. "Deep work," if you will. It's a brazen article of faith that my career will work out in the end. So far, so good enough.
