Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

Entrepreneurship is a state of mind, a way of life.

My thoughts on non-managerial leadership, and why work ethic is so incredibly important: http://www.dalebeermann.com/2010/03/leading-sans-followers.html

Engineering is only a means to determine and achieve a particular goal, not the goal in and of itself. Without a product/market fit, it doesn't matter how "cool" a product is. Without a decent user experience, it doesn't matter how "cool" a feature is if nobody can access it. Engineering for engineering's sake is no way to build a company. Leave it to the academics.
