Right now we are boiling everything down to fast something can get down and how little effort we need to put in to get it done.
We have reached the future that Wall-E predicted.
When I used to hire Junior Developers, we knew what we were getting – blank slates with some level of computer knowledge – so how were they evaluated?
Their effort. How much time did they put in, how much were they willing to put in – those were the metrics of someone who wanted it, wanted to be there, and hungered to learn and grow.
Effort matters, desire matters, learning matters.
