How I get my kicks these days
Sent by Jonathan Stark on January 22nd, 2017
When I first started out in software development, I got my kicks by solving complicated problems.
These days I get my kicks by creating happy clients.
Solving complicated problems does not necessarily lead to happy clients.
The two things can overlap, but:
- Sometimes solving a complicated problem doesn’t deliver any value to the client.
- Sometimes solving a simple problem can deliver enormous value to the client.
Be on the lookout for the latter.
Yours,
