All good pointers here some more lessons that I learned hard way from 16+ years as an engineer

- You will regret the things you didn't do much more than the ones you did. So... action, action and action.

- Prioritize your health, rest and happiness. No one will do that for you. There will always be more work.

- Whatever you are today is the result of your past actions. Every decision matters. You are responsible for your life and have the complete authority to make it or break it.

- Don't specialise too soon- Generalise (aka "Jack of all trades") and give yourself an opportunity to serendipitously discover what you are best at.

- Life is all about People. So, wherever you go value people. Respect them, add value to their life through your association.

I am trying to add value for those who are reading this. Thank you.

All good pointers but the book one hit me hard. In the era of AI, CS books are still relevant in my opinion
