Speed—turning ideas into tangible results quickly is the most powerful competitive advantage you can build.

You don't need to be fatalistic about company politics.

When companies mistake volume for value, and incentivize outputs over outcomes.

Most engineers think workplace politics is dirty. They’re wrong. Refusing to play politics doesn’t make you noble; it makes you ineffective.
