Mastering the Spotlight: Prioritization in Tech

In the fast-paced world of tech, not all work is created equal. This article highlights that most high-priority tasks are actually low-impact. Success hinges on recognizing the 'spotlight' moments – projects receiving intense leadership focus. Engineers must develop the ability to quickly identify and seize these opportunities, dedicating themselves to high-impact projects. Conversely, when the spotlight isn't on them, leveraging personal time for valuable projects enhances skills and company contributions. This requires not just judgment but a skill honed through practice.
