In my experience, I have used coaches that don’t have more technical skill than me, but are able to provide insight, questions, and provoke me to think through my problems in ways …

18F should; as should DSes at agencies. If people are looking for hard (the hard mostly comes from the ambiguity of problem space and autonomous nature of our teams) impactful work…

USDS is not slower paced or for the faint of heart.

I messaged them and might try and reboot it

My org should be able to host an event if you want to try and throw something together. Unicorn start up and all that jazz. Likely they will want someone to give a short spiel.

Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad. A lot of anecdotes about “important” historical figures or institutions that use copy by hand as a method for learning. I would have preferred citi…

Agreed. On my journey to some sort of personal meaning I ended up going through psychology, physical sciences, philosophy & meditation - roughly in that order with poetry and liter…

I’d consider studying philosophy. When I had questions, I ended up changing from chemistry to philosophy in undergrad (before dropping out after realizing no one had the answers). …
