No, I did not.

The question is ill-posed imo. I would invert the question and ask: "How not to suck at your work" as that would lead to similar conclusions, and is more actionable.

This essay has too many weasel sentences like:

"Boldly chase outlier ideas,"

"Husband your morale"

"Doing great work is a depth-first search whose root node is the desire to. "

"Curiosity is the best guide."

This is woolly-feel-good writing that chatgpt and folks like steve pinker, deepak chopra etc specialize in, ie: a bag-of-words about fuzzy feel-good ideas we all want to hear.



The essay is about something different than "how not to suck at your work".
