  • One of my favorite CS memories was on LAN at quakecon.

    1v10. The enemy team just killed 9 of us. I’m the last person up. Demolished them. A couple close moments, but caught almost everyone of them in 1v1s.

    After I kill 10 people in a single fucking round, on LAN mind you, some prick on their team types “lucky” in all chat.

    I was fucking furious.

    So sure enough the very next round my team gets shit on. 1v10 again. I, again, wipe the fucking floor with them. 10 down.

    I just stood up and screamed.




  • There are answers, they just take a level of experience to reach that most people aren’t cut out for. You gotta be several principal+ IC roles or Dir+ mgr roles in before the patterns congeal into a plan.

    Challenge is operating at those levels for extended periods requires a super fucking insane level of competency and dedication. Most people hit that spot and coast till retirement cause you’re at $500k+ at FAANG. Few keep looking for new opportunities unless forced to or they’re those corporate robot sharks with the dead eyes.
