In an interview that I recently heard with the author Robert Coram about John Boyd. You can listen to hear all of the details but the interview introduced this topic of career recognition versus career accomplishment.

October 9, 2023 – How to Keep From Getting Old
I think that we all want to be comfortable. It’s OK to take advantage of the experience that we have hard earned. After all, why not benefit from the work we have done?

It seems kind of redundant and counter intuitive to write about what I talked about. This will help me in keeping things streamlined and quicker to deploy.
