On pain, careers, and doing things the hard way.

Read Original

The author recounts a traumatic first public speaking experience at a tech conference and the years of deliberate, painful practice it took to overcome the fear. The article then explores the broader concept of 'leaning into pain' as a career strategy in tech, acknowledging its power for growth but also warning against glorifying misery as a virtue.
