Innovating is not about technology, but psychology
summary
Explains that innovation depends on psychology not just tools, showing concrete patterns: fear holds people back (examples from awkward multilingual meetups to the first sick feeling on a dev job), a cautionary burnout case that reports 10% later develop cancer (correlation, not causation), and a concrete rescue plan—three steps: ask why, teach, want more—plus practical habits (hobbies, remember your original passion, be intentional) that reduce harm and improve empathy in everyday development.
