I recently spent some time reflecting on my career and my life, for a few reasons:
- It was my 29th birthday, an occasion which felt like a particularly natural time to think through what I wanted to accomplish over the course of the next year 🙂.
- It seems like AI progress is heating up.
- It felt like a good time to reflect on how Redwood has been going, because we’ve been having conversations with funders about getting more funding.
I wanted to have a better answer to these questions:
- What’s the default trajectory that I should plan for my career to follow? And what does this imply for what I should be doing right now?
- How much urgency should I feel in my life?
- How hard should I work?
- How much should I be trying to do the most valuable-seeming thing, vs engaging in more playful exploration and learning?
