  • Independent thinking - You learn from your mistakes quickly, and know how to unblock yourself when needed. You give yourself agency to take on new problems and drive them to impactful solutions.
  • Perfect is the enemy of good - You take pride in understanding and solving problems as soon as possible, and learn quickly from mistakes in the spirit of growing as an engineer.
