Don’t be a tool

Every role, whether software engineer, carpenter, cleaner or astronaut is about generating outcomes that lead to profit. Your job is to help the company grow and make more money by generating valuable outcomes through your actions, which includes but is not limited to writing code.

When people discuss a product like an iPhone or a pen, they focus on how it solves their problems, not on its materials or origin. For developers, writing good code is important, but it must lead to the right outcomes, or else you'll be obsolete. If you're only writing code, you're essentially a tool like a hammer or pen - easily replaceable. To avoid being just a tool, you need to bring value beyond code.

Being a valuable professional means understanding the broader context of your work, including the company’s domain knowledge, customer success, sales, marketing, and engineering. This makes you a 10x developer - someone who significantly influences positive outcomes, uplifts others, and is deeply integrated into the company.

To grow in your career, whether as a staff engineer, manager, tech lead or CTO, you need more than technical skills. Companies like Google value professionals who can bring value beyond their technical tasks. Marty Kagan, in his book "Inspired," emphasizes that using programmers only for coding underutilizes their talents.

AI is advancing and can perform well-defined tasks efficiently. What AI lacks are critical problem-solving skills, logic, and the ability to communicate across an organization. Therefore, it's crucial to grow beyond frameworks and tools. Focus on outcomes, not just tasks. Tasks alone don't lead to results if they don't serve a greater purpose.

To ensure your role is indispensable, integrate yourself across all company units. Understand how valuable you are and how easily replaceable your role is. By doing so, you can aim for leadership positions and make significant contributions to your company. This advice is given with the best intentions to help you grow and succeed.

Compound effect - the idea that small but consistent positive changes result in a big positive impact. Similarly, small negative choices lead to a big negative result.

Compound effect is always working. Either for you or against you.

No one stays the same. You either get better or get worse.

Humans have an innate desire for pleasure—hedonism—which drives us to seek out activities or experiences that provide immediate gratification over those that involve a delay of gratification, even if they have potential negative consequences.

We are designed to choose what is "more comfortable". So, taking an extra step to eat healthy, to move more, to study, to grow is, actually, going against our instincts.

Growth is a struggle, it is worth the struggle.
