Ask HN: Performance psychology in the workplace?
Garbage in -&gt; garbage out. Thank you for your humility. You acknowledge that you&#x27;re good enough to be dedicated but not good enough to be impressive. If you re-use your methods, then you would only be creating devs who are again only going to be dedicated not impressive.<p>Any biography of GOAT athletes I&#x27;ve read inevitably depict tremendous personal sacrifice. Whether you call grueling schedules, pushing themselves nearly to their physical and psychological breaking point, as &quot;hustle culture&quot;, it&#x27;s undeniable that the road to greatness is filled with incredible suffering.<p>We would all like to wish ourselves to greatness without putting in the effort that goes with it. Unfortunately, that is not how the world works. Having said that, while positive thinking only goes so far, it&#x27;s a good salve for anyone in dire straits. In other words, positive thinking won&#x27;t solve your problems, but it might make you feel momentarily better. Best of luck.
