Fate is Bull$h!t: Get Happy, Get Known, Get Paid
summary
Argues that fate is bull$h!t and that career progress follows three steps: get happy, get known, get paid. Claims concrete wins — no coding exams for last three jobs because of a visible personal brand — and urges publishing everything on GitHub (even mistakes). Recommends mentors, paid executive and negotiation coaches, branded touchpoints like logos and stickers, and a negotiation program (UN-recognized) that boosts offers substantially; cites community scale examples (1,200 conference attendees, 7,000-person gaming event) as proof of reach.
