The underpaid cargo cult mentality is alive in well in corporate America.

Have you logged into LinkedIn lately?

Nothing but pseudo "grindset" cargo cultists as far as the eye can see writing worthless technical platitude posts.

It feels like a parody site of itself these days.

Depends what you want to win?

You won’t have happy kids and a good family life, if you don’t think it’s possible. Same as you won’t make a cool open-source library, if you aren’t optimistic (or naive) enough to go work on that.

And if you keep saying everything is impossible a huge drag extremely worthless and why even bother trying, you won’t get the fun projects at work.
