Me reading "hmm, yes , ok ...try to skip..wait..ok..this one too, yes sounds good, uu, yes yes so true" 😃
I think the article is comprehensive, touches all the delicate parts that in most companies and circles are "taboo" or "unknown". It is hard to treat ourselves as products and services, being humble humans and such.
The hardest thing for me is to evaluate the value I added to companies or could add, it's always a team effort and based on opportunities. I know what I've done, but then all the "What if"'s come into my mind and things get blurry.
This year I started a self-retrospective and touched most of the subjects you wrote about, I think I'm on the right track. I open a blog last week, started to contribute to open source projects and do some networking. It's hard work but I have some free time and I think it will worth it.
I started writing software in 1984. Over the years I worked with many languages, technologies, and tools. I have been in leadership positions since the early 2000s, and in executive roles since 2014.
Awesome! Thank you for your feedback and perspective. Very glad to hear that this is useful. Reading comments like yours makes all the difference. That is when I feel like I added some value, and you know how good that feels.
As far as evaluating the value you added, I think that the most accurate estimation is whatever came before all the "what if's". When you start questioning that judgment, you start crawling into a rathole without end and things become less and less accurate.
You are right that it is hard work, but it becomes fun and it does bring a big payoff.

I will use this article as a "TODO" list.
