Do extrovert stuff, speak at conferences, network make lots of friends / contacts, be popular.

Hard for introverts like me, I am better at computers than people which means I am at a disadvantage even in the computer field it seems.

Worried if I ever have to look for a new job especially getting older.



Isn’t that so counter-intuitive? This clearly means that it’s an inefficient market. I don’t need to have a good social network to buy a nice TV. What a great problem that needs to be solved.

Dangerous advice in the Covid era :-P


The key seems to be having the skills to reliably generate revenue. You can get away with a lot if you can do that.
