throwaway693··on Ask HN: Anyone else is tired of all the corporate bs?
As a dev its not valuable to spend time dealing business. The skills are not transferable and is only value to the current organization. This is where managers shine.

I used to laugh at RMS but reading more about him is shocking to say the least. Just check the story he wrote in 1997 to make a point https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html .

Basically he foresaw people will not be able to own books. He is a genius who *really* does not care about money. That makes all the difference. Very rare to find people with this trait. To top it off he is relentless in his cause. Think if there is any one who can meet these standards. Very few.

The only beef i have with Wim Hof is he says one's attitude matter in following his method. He says a person should be open minded and accept without ego, something along those lines. The problem is its not quantifiable and kind of cop-out, so I don't take it too seriously.

throwaway693··on Ask HN: How to improve as a struggling junior software engineer?
If you work at a normal pace and did not make any mistakes your teammates will have a good opinion of you which is the only thing that will impact your managers impression on you. These are the only important things as they related to performance improvement and career growth.

Since you have made a mistakes that moved the release dates, it takes a long time to change the impressions.

If you ask me, just switch company and start from scratch. This might be unpopular opinion but this will save time in years w.r.t to career growth.
