Preserve and improve health

Figure out what you want to do in life and go after it. Not just career, but the other stuff (travel, companionship, hobbies leaving a legacy, etc)

You still got a couple grand slams left in ya but you have to be intentional about it

Maybe fighting it itself is a form of exercise. Maybe fighting it is an end in itself regardless if you got anything done. But not trying is the failure.

Just ship or push to clarify reqs until you ship. Don’t let anything else hold you back (oh let me ask my manager etc etc). Clarify the reqs, get sign off and ship. It’s that simple.

FAANG was only good for the name and the money. Now I would say neither. I think we are now in a post-FAANG world. Maybe at the highest levels sure you’ll clean up but not as FEE. Honestly there are a ton of private companies now (stripe, Databricks, the GenAI companies, etc where the name carries a lot of weight and you can clean up well if you have a few years).
