Don’t fall for the noise of hype. Most of what you see and use every day has been already invented a thousand times. But listen to the signal of hype and learn to separate chaff from grain.
We work in an industry that does not value wisdom. Most of your managers will not understand a word you say, no matter how many years of experience you have, yet they will have the power to fire you anyway. Live with it.
