Charles Max Wood takes the lead this week. He and Adi Iyengar discuss what Top End Devs are and what people should be doing to become Top End Devs.
They start out discussing the default trajectory of a developer’s career and then talk about how to get boosts off that line and into higher levels of achievement and fulfillment.
I can sympathize with that. Personally I tend to listen to Podcasts in settings where reading would be impractical, like doing the dishes and other chores. Then it’s nice to just put on some headphones and tune out.
That’s a good way of looking at it. But to me doing house work is a way to mentally unwind through some physical labor (sort of like a workout). Having to load my brain even then is likely going to be too much. But I might try it sometime.
