Refactored #024: “What We Wish We Knew”
On this episode of Refactored…
The guys used to be super weird about their résumés; they recount their youthful mis-applications of imagination.
Chris makes the case that you should ask more questions; no one will think less of you.
Frank points out that no one is out to get you, so it’s okay to be 87% less paranoid. 13% paranoid is okay though; that’s the offical Refactored Recommended Paranoia Quota™ (the “RRPQ”).
The guys explore some ways in which the brain plays tricks on you, like the actor-observer bias.
Go do the scary thing. Overcome “the flinch.” Make it a habit.
Max out your retirement offerings! (IRA, 401(k), etc.)
Quasimodo Chris recommends paying attention to your office ergonomics; it really compounds over time.
Frank makes a prediction: Loki will be shown to have been D.B. Cooper.
