[wildmindwriting]

* Writing on a consistent basis is both rewarding and eye-opening.

* Bumbling a tech interview can still bowl me over and make me feel inadequate, even though I've been in tech for 15 years.

* International travel is life-changing. Seeing the world outside of my American bubble for the first time a few months ago altered me in a way I didn't think possible.

* Not all titles mean something.

* Do things for the sake of doing them, not because there is an end goal.

* Time is more important than money (but pay off your debt).

* Words and intent matter.
