💭12 things we've observed in 12 years of Lookahead 💭
🤝 Long-term connections matter; take care of those bridges.
🎢 The market can go up or down at any moment. Ride the waves and focus on your inputs.
🫱 Help with no expectations, it has a funny way of returning.
✍️ Write the thing down.🎙 Say the hard thing.
✅ Do the thing: In 2015 a General Assembly grad friend felt like they got to programming too late. They’re a senior now.
💪 Do difficult work with fun people, not the other way around.
🐌 Small but consistent efforts over infrequent Herculean efforts.
🫶 Kindness counts.
🛣 Run at a sustainable pace. Any race car driver will tell you smooth is fast.
💳 Pay your debts early (especially diversity debt).
👾 Software continues to eat the world.
What have we missed?
💞 A big thank you to our team members, past and present, clients, peers and the amazing tech community for making it such a memorable ride. Looking forward to the next 12 🚀.
Here are some photos from Lookahead’s birthday party. It’s always fun and energising to catch up with our friends and colleagues in person. 😁
