The best software engineers I know all have this in common:
• Start coding with big dreams at 21.
• Get rejected by companies at 22.
• Take the job they could get at 23.
• Spend 2 years fixing bugs and writing CRUD APIs.
• Feel behind when others post big salaries online.
• Try to switch at 26.
• Fail interviews at 27.
• Realize tutorials were not enough.
• Finally learn CS fundamentals, system design, databases, networking, and how real systems break.
• Start building better at 29.
• Become dangerous at 31.
And change their family’s future by 35.
With their sharpest years still ahead.
Software engineering is not a sprint.
It is a long game of skill, patience, and staying in the fight.
Keep going.
The most successful people I know all have this in common:
• Dream of a business at 21.
• Launch and fail at 23.
• Go back to a job at 24.
• Try again at 26.
• Fail again at 28.
• Lose money and confidence.
• Learn everything that failure taught you.
• Build something real at 31.
And change your family's future forever at 36.
With your best years still ahead.
Entrepreneurship is not a race.
It is a test of patience.
Keep going.

I'm getting the same feeling I did last year after I played the PT in Minneapolis.
I miss Grand Prix. I want a chance to play more tournaments that feel like they matter.
Being one and done with a Standard deck sucks, with a single RC the only other big event over the year.
