(1) Don’t be intimated to start (esp w/o a CS degree)
(2) Embrace knowledge gaps. We’re all learners & teachers. Having a growth mindset is key
(3) Find a tribe & community of motivating people. Ask them & senior leaders about the thing you're learning & roles you wish to attain

"Do less"
This. Excessive context switching eats away at your energy, brain power, and productivity. Simplifying is key
1) Do less. Stop dividing your attention.
2) Do it right now. Once you have identified the essential, go fast. Maintain a bias toward action.
3) Do it the right way. Acting quickly doesn't mean acting carelessly. Get to work right away, but keep working on it until it's right.

Just finished the audiobook The Courage to Be Disliked. Tldr it was a 6 hr philosophical debate that defined happiness as simply the feeling of contribution to others (w/o a need for recognition).
And I think that's the most beautiful thing ever. Highly recommend

People no longer trust each other. Why? And how can we fix it? Very interesting, interactive guide to the game theory of trust:
"In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it's us players who define the game"

“only *2.3%* of Twitter users had any MFA method enabled”
Security “basics” are largely still a black hole for consumers
In our Infosec circle we hear people talk about multi-factor authentication as if it's obvious but the reality is very different. Twitter released their numbers -- only *2.3%* of Twitter users had any MFA method enabled during this reporting period.

Guy sends a SYN with a stare. Girl sends a SYN-ACK by staring back.

Leading with fear vs leading with empathy 101
In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it.
In supportive cultures, people speak up and support down. They protect people without power by raising problems to those with it.

FOMO is an illusion of scarcity combined w fear of potential loss. Reason why it's useful in sales, persuasion, scams etc. is bc of human nature to maximize potential gain and prevent loss.
But FOMO overload eventually nets guaranteed loss in form of overwhelm and distractions.
Monday motivation: You have to lose FOMO to be excellent.
The old FOMO means Fear Of Missing Out.
Your FOMO must mean Focus On My Opportunity.
