So Good They Can't Ignore You
Cal Newport
Pick a direction. Don’t wait to find something you love.
Newport rejects the passion hypothesis: the idea that you find your passion first and then follow it. Passion is the byproduct, not the starting point.
What I’m taking from it: after starting something new, like I’m doing with AI now: there’s a boring middle. I have to push past it. Then prove it’s worth something by creating and sharing small, remarkable builds.
