What Stan Lee taught me about working in tech
summary
Comic-book metaphors map to concrete career habits: learn core skills like Git and subnetting (the sling ring analogy) so small tools compose into powerful pipelines; recognize when tools become toxic (adamantium poisoning) and retire them; celebrate contributors who prevent incidents quietly and stop rewarding chronic overtime; keep learning practical languages and APIs instead of perfectionism; treat failures as recoverable iterations and prioritize ethics over flashy “superpowers.”
