Nothing super constructive to say, but two years later, I still think about this post a lot and keep coming back to it to read some specific bullets. It’s somewhat moving, but also very content-dense, one of my favorite pieces of writing/​information on here.
I generally find pieces about how people’s views and drives evolve helpful on many levels, and I’d welcome more of them, even from much less senior people. I try to keep track of this for myself: it’s useful for gaining insights into, for example, what actually influences my priorities over time and how contingent those drives are.
