October 12th, 2005Everyone busted out the paper, but I got out the laptop and said, “I am blogging this.”
Where do you see yourself working in 5 years? In 10?
I seem to get this question a lot. The general response is, “I do not even know what I will be doing next week!”. Now, that may sound like I do not have a grand plan or a vision, but this is not the case. I simply trust that opportunities will come up and I will make a good decision which to pursue.
Hopefully where ever I am in 5 or 10 years, I will not be working, I will be playing. I will be able to accomplish this only if my job is so fun it seems like it is not work at all. I used to think that this was an impossible situation, but as I gain more experience in industry I realize that it is a distinct trait of the people that are most successful.
What sorts of technical writing do you see yourself doing? (Be specific) Reports? What kinds?
Ideally I will have some technical knowledge to share with others, in which case I will be writing about that. Maybe I will find the need to write an RFC or help explain the kernel scheduling model. Both of which I have no knowledge about at the moment, but it could happen.
Whoops, times up.

Alex, this is getting a little creepy… I just asked Brandon the same question (what’s your plan for life?) like two days ago [note: neither of us had seen this post] and he said nearly verbatim what you just said…
Differentiate already!
