Saw a post somewhere that was like “how to become a gardener”

It was basically ;
1) get a job in IT
2) get burnt out and unwell
3) give up on IT and become a gardener

Eric Schmidt:

‘learned that there were people who I call “glue people”. The glue people are incredibly nice people who sit at interstitial boundaries between groups, and they assist in activity. And they are very, very loyal, and people love them, and you don’t need them at all.

[..] I kept trying to get rid of these glue people, because they were getting in the way, because they slowed everything down.’
