About

The best software engineers: learn every new JavaScript framework, experiment with new ML techniques, and grind out 5 Leetcode problems a day. Right? WRONG The key to career advancement has very little to do with how many technologies you know, or how much time you spend coding. It's about your behavior and mindset within a team to build something great. These skills don't get taught in school, and I've learned them the hard way in my career. This channel is to share what I've learned. I also run a membership designed to supercharge engineering careers, check it out at joinTaro.com My background: ➤ Staff Engineer at Meta (Facebook) ➤ Founding engineer at a startup that got acquired by Pinterest ➤ BS and MS from Stanford
