I-reality emnqwenela ye-pivot yam kwi-PM ukuya kwi-SWE - yaye ngoko ngaba ndingathanda kwi-operational maturity phezu kwi-FizzBuzz metrics. For years, my Computer Science degree sat on my resume like a quiet accusation. Ndingathanda. Ndandisebenzise ngoko. Ndingathanda kwiindawo ezininzi ezaziwayo kwi-tech apho ukufikelela kwimveliso yam ndingathanda: Umlawuli weProjekthi ye-Technical, i-Scrum Master, umntu owaziwa ukuxhaswa kubathengi ngaphandle kokufumana ukuba ufake i-codebase. Kodwa ekugqibeleni, le "i-silent" i-accusation iye yenza i-bass. I-insatisfaction yam ndiza kubonakala. Abasebenzi wahlala kwiintloko zayo ezininzi ze-insatisfaction. "I don't see you hunched over a desk in a two-week-old hoodie staring at code, Tiff. You're so good at what you do." Ndiyathanda oku. Ndingathanda ngokucacileyo i-reasoning yayo njenge-pacifier ye-mental. I-preference yaye kulungele ukuba ingathanda ukuba kunokuba i-fear. Ndizange ekugqithisileyo, kwaye ndingathanda ukuba ndingathanda ukudlulisela nangona kunjalo. Kwimeko, ndingathanda kwi-deep between my potential and my practice. Ndiyathanda ngexesha elandelayo. Ndiyathanda iiprojekthi. Ndiyathanda. Ndiyathanda ne-anxiety low-grade that one day someone would ask me to contribute a solution as a solution. ... kwaye ndiza "kuye". Kwiinyanga ezimbini, ndingathanda ukucinga phantsi komhlaba kwaye ngexesha lokugqibela kwinxalenye kwinqanaba elidlulileyo kwiminyaka ezidlulileyo. Ndingathanda inxaxheba software full-time. Yintoni ndingathanda i-whiplash ye-psychological yeengxaki ezininzi kunye neengxaki ezininzi ze-imeyili ezivela ngexesha elidlulileyo. computer scientist I-Trophy ye-Atrophy I-CompSci yindidi yam ngexesha lokubonisa umdla yam yobugcisa. Iintsuku ezidlulileyo kuphela kunye ne-laptop ebandayo. Iingcebiso ze-coding zithunyelwe ngesantya ze-0.8x ukuze ubomi yami ebandayo awukwazi ukuxhaswa. Iingcebiso ze-family apho ndingathanda ngokwemvelo kodwa ngempumelelo kwi-computer science. Imizuzu ezincinane kunye ne-baby girl yam, ebandayo ngu-impulsion yokunyuka kwexesha elidlulileyo ye-code ebandayo ukuxhaswa. Iingcebiso zininyanzeleka kakhulu ngexabiso yokunika i- blueprint ye-persistence ye-daughter and newborn son on the way - I-Plan yaba ukuqhuba kwi-courier yam "kwixesha elifanelekileyo" i. i rather than a cautionary tale of regret Yintoni awukwazi ukufika "Ndiza kuqala ukufumana umsebenzi emva kokufika i-baby." "Ndiyathanda prep emva kokufika." "Ndiza kuqala ukufundisa kwakhona emva kokufika." Ngexesha elidlulileyo, iingcebiso zayo zobuchwepheshe zangaphantsi. Ndiye kwenziwa umncedisi kwi-strategy ye-tech ngelixa iinkcukacha zokusebenza zangaphakathi kunye ne-stagnation emzimbeni. " "Ukuhlukaniswa kwe-discipline yaye i-beacon emangalisayo ye- Iintlobo zayo zokusebenza ngokufanelekileyo kunye nezifundo ze-refreshers ezinzima ukwamkela iziphumo ezininzi ezininzi ezikhuthazayo. trophy atrophy Ukusuka kwi-Deep Kwiminyaka emininzi, le i-deficit iye yandile ngokubanzi kwi-responsibility yam yokuzonwabisa kunye ne-strategy. Ndidinga i-roast emzimbeni ye-"big picture". Njengomphathiswa we-PM kunye ne-Scrum Master, iingxaki zayo ayikho ukugcina i-wrench; i-gaps zobuchwepheshe ziye kuphela ama-blockers ukuba ziyafumaneka Ukubaluleka ukuba I-Leadership ibonisa imiphumo yebhizinisi ngexesha lokusetyenziswa kweengcali kunye neengcali ezinxulumeneyo ziya kubandakanywa. Kodwa xa ngexesha ekugqibeleni kwi-engineering, i-shroud emangalisayo yabafutshane. Le ngxaki yaba kwakhona. Ukusebenza Ukucinga Ndingathanda emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emzimbeni emz iimveliso ze-shoulder surfing Ukucaciswa kweengxaki ze-dependence. Ayikho nje yokufunda kwinkqubo. Ndingathanda indlela yokufunda kwi-environment eyenza ukuba ndingathanda ukuba ndingathanda kwixesha elide. K8s Maven Ndingathanda i-birds-eye view professional kwiingxowa zehlabathi kunye ne- i-indentation error. Kwiimeko ezininzi, ndingathanda kuphela. Ndingathanda ngokubanzi i-knowledge gap ebonakalayo njengoko i-Mariana Trench - kunye ne-publisher. I-progress yenzelwe ngokugqithelela kwiingxaki ezininzi ezininzi ezininzi ngexesha elide, emva kwexesha elide emva kokuba i-novelty ye-roll kunye neengxaki ze-motivation ziye zithunyelwe. Ukufundwa kwangaphambili, phantsi kwexesha elifanelekileyo, kunye nemiphumo emangalisayo. There is a specific genre of pause that occurs when a full-salaried engineer asks a question so basic it momentarily disorients a senior developer. YAML I-PM Edge - Ukufundwa kwe-Velocity Over Ego Kwiintsuku ezidlulileyo kwisiqingatha, ndiyifunyenwe. I-ego ayikho i-luxury enokufumana. Kwi-tech, i-pride ibhekwa njenge-competence. Ukwenza ukuxhaswa, ndingathanda ukuxhaswa kweinformations kunye nokufumaneka kwakhona. Ukubiza umnqweno we-sintax refresher akuyona imvakalelo. Iye yenza iingcebiso yokwandisa isantya yam yokufunda. Njengomfutho we-Premier, ndingathanda oku ngokwenene. Izixhobo yamaqanda zangaphantsi ukuba awukwazi ukufumana ngalinye. Izixhobo yaba ukufumana "kuye" kunye nokuphumla kunye nokuphumla. Ndingathanda ukuba umnqweno kunye nenqweno lomnqweno ngokushesha kunokuba umnqweno we-individual. I-Pride ayinxalenye i-code. I-Systems yenza. Ngoko ndiyifake enye. Ndingathanda ukufumana kwimvavanyo yam njengoko i-initiative yeprogram: . Kukho isisombululo kwi-novice performance theatre xa ndibandakanya abathengi abahlobo. I refused to waste time protecting it Ukubhala KwiLwandle yePivot Kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo le mveliso, ndingathanda into efanelekileyo: ukuphazamiseka akuyona ingxelo ukuba ndingathanda. Yinto ingxelo ukuba ndingathanda ekugqibeleni kwintsholongwane yayo. I-ghost ngathi ndingathanda akuyona ayikho kwintsholongwane. I-potency ebonakalayo. Le ngqongqosho iye yenzulululululekileyo, ukuba ndingathanda. Kodwa i-humility ayikho i-weakhawunti. Yinto ingxelo yokukhula. Kwimveliso ebonakalayo kwi-genius storytelling kunye ne-gate-keeping metrics, i-grit kunye ne-intelligence ye-emotional ziye zibonakalisa kakhulu kwi-impact ye-long-term. Yinto enhle. Kwiinkalo zolawulo, sinxibelelana i-"eyona" kunye ne-"ngoko" kwimiphumo yebhizinisi. Yinto yelizwe yeengxaki kunye ne-reallignments. Kwi-engineering, unayo i-"how" yaye i-beast epheleleyo. Nangona i-leadership ibhagamshelane ne-destination, iingcali zihlala i-white-knuckling. i-cluster ukuze i-ship ibekwe afloat. Njengomnjineli, ebonakalayo kwiingxowa ezininzi kunye nokufunda iinqwelo ezintsha zihlanganisa ngaphezu kwezinye iinqwelo ezininzi ezininzi ezininzi, kunye ne-"ayikwazi ukuba akuyona ezininzi ezininzi" ebonakalisiwe ngalinye imiqondiso ebonakalayo. Ndingathanda ukugcina iingxowa zayo. Yintoni amazwe ezininzi ezininzi. K8s Ukuphumelela oku kwakhona ngokugqithisileyo indlela ndingathanda malunga nokufumana, ukufikelela, kunye nokufundisa ubuchwepheshe, kwaye kuyinto i-lens ndingathanda yonke inkqubo kunye ne-business ngexesha elandelayo. Ayikho kuphela umenzi we-software ngoku. I-engineer kunye ne-PM's brain, i-systems mindset, kunye ne- scar tissue ye-high-pressure career pivot. 
 
 I-confidence yayo yenzelwe ngokufanisa iingcebiso kwakhona. I-confidence yayo yenzelwe ngokufanisa iingcebiso kwakhona. I-confidence yayo yenzelwe ngokufanisa iingcebiso kwakhona. And this time, I'm not staying adjacent to the fire.
