Like one of the reasons I went to Amazon early in my career is I knew that I'd be able to work on software for marketing and I didn't know Jack about marketing and I wanted to learn it.
And so finding a way to kind of see things from multiple perspectives matters, but mostly go find something you want to create and go create it.
And don't worry too much about being replaced.
In software, young builders have an edge.
In hardware, experience seems to win.
High barriers, deep expertise required.
How does a young engineer break in and actually stand out?
I don't believe the premise of the question.
In hardware, experience wins.
This is one of these lies told by old people at big, dumb companies, and it's just not true.
And by the way, all those people suck.
So don't worry about it.
Go build real things.
Go have hobbies.
Like if you're into airplanes, do RC model airplanes.
And learn not just how to design things, but learn how to actually make them.
And the barriers are not actually that high.
You can just go do this stuff.
So don't try to become a deep expert.
The moment you become an expert, what you're steeped in is the past, and then you're completely useless.
