## What Jamie wrote

I appreciate how Charity Majors give practical perspective to a long and rewarding career in technology. 

> The strategy for a fulfilling, lifelong career in tech is not to up the ante every interval. Nor is it to amass more and more power over others until you explode.

I like this callout too.

> Practice Transparency, From Top To Bottom  
> Share Authority, Decision-Making And Power  
> Technical Contributors Own Technical Decisions  

Very good read. 🤩
