#22 - How to Be OK With Being You

It's the best gift you can give the world

You’ll never be that ideal version of yourself.

You’ll never be able to do everything you want.

Our time is finite, this is a good thing.

We can be free to accept ourselves today and focus on what we feel is important.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • About the book Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

  • 4000 weeks is the finite time we have in this world

  • We never get to that idealized version of ourselves

  • Embrace we can’t do everything, accept where we are today

  • How to use your leisure time for it’s own sake

Bits of Chris: The Podcast for Augmented Engineers
AI can't replace you.
But you need to adapt how you work.
Augmented Engineers invest their time in learning, thinking, creativity, and soft skills.
They leverage AI tools for what LLMs are good at - distillation, retrieval, boiler plate generation.
While they focus on amplifying their unique, human strengths - thinking, creativity, empathy.
Hosted by Chris Lettieri, a Staff Data Engineer optimizing large time series datasets for deep learning, the Bits of Chris Podcast is the show for Staff+ engineers interested in deep learning, soft skills, building their second brains, and amplifying their humanity to future-proof their careers.
Follow along to become an Augmented Engineer.
Remember - Augment, Stay Human.
