Exactly Panta Rhei doesn't mean not to do the same thing repeatedly, it means even if one does it again, the water flows and the river is completely different.

The origins of the popular quote are apparently drug addiction treatment/recovery[0]. I doubt folks parroting it realize they're essentially regurgitating a line of Narcotics Anonymous propaganda associating addiction with insanity. [0] https://professorbuzzkill.com/einstein-insanity-qnq/

I've heard this quote repeated so many times over the years that I just assumed everyone in my AA meetings knew what they were talking about. Appreciate the info.

You're desirable. Congrats. (Of course you don't recognize it.) Most people are most people/average trying to eke out a living .

Yeah but, it's not like I have some god given talent the next person can't obtain. I went to a shitty university, and it took me 4 years to finish a 3 year undergrad. From there on, it was all about building skills, and making very intentional decisions to steer my career. There's the classic joke of how to pick up women: "Step 1: Be attractive. Step 2: don't be unattractive" - which is funny because you can't change…

Just the market/timing maybe? For comparison, I’ve worked in a similar tech stack and never had any issues whatsoever finding a job until maybe late 2022. You don’t list any dates, but I had no problem getting interviews and recruiters at tech companies of F500s till then.
