Opensourcing my brain
So, the other day I was browsing a blog post and my train of browsing got me at sourcerer.io and that’s what sparked this whole train-of-thought. I am a multipotentialite, jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none whatever you want to call it. I accept that I am not absolutely mindblowingly “awesome” at anything. I might be good at a few things, slightly better at some topics — but I will probably never accept the fact that I’m a “pro” at anything.
