Are You Becoming the Signature Man?
First it fascinates you.
Then it inspires you.
Then you use it.
Then you outsource to it.
You outsource your why.
You outsource your thinking🤔
You outsource your decisions.
Now you’re just the Signature Man !!

name on the PR, name on the doc, name on the call.

Silence …
You can’t even look back to figure out where it went wrong.
Because looking back also needs thinking and that you already gave away😉
The tools are not the problem. The mindlessness is.
