    Anti-resume-speak challenge: How would you candidly describe what you can actually reliably do that’s worth other people’s money? One tweet. No ornamentation, puffery, inflation, or resume stuffing. “What can YOU do, guaranteed?”https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4YBxeDN4tbk …

        I’ll respond to my own prompt. I’m useful to talk to when thinking through management problems, especially in engineering organizations. That’s basically it.

        Get typos and inconsistencies out of copy, which is useful if you're pandering to an unusually sensitive or snobby audience. Turn moderately complicated business logic into simple, no frills code that someone else can make look pretty for end users.

        And come to think of it, I *do* tend to describe my work this way to people I want to hire me. When the job market is actually good for the thing you're doing, it seems good to be direct and straightforward about it. Indirectness seems hacky.

        Help you understand why you're *actually* procrastinating, and give you tools to do it less.

        I definitely struggle with wording my pitch, but at this point I'm finding I can do that reliably.

        If you spend low eight figures on compute I can teach your people how to save high seven figures.

        I crunch numbers, interview experts, do online research, and put my findings on a PowerPoint deck to help execs make decisions.

        I can easily memorize random strings of data and maintain focus for extended periods of time. Unfortunately this also predisposes me to losing a thousand games of chess, in a row, for fun.
