Spot on.

If I may add, I found "useful magic" like discrete Fourier transforms, local linear approximations and homogenous differential equations as exciting examples to motivate students into the abstract theory of linear transformations

The article implicitly conditions the strategy space on remaining an employee (or an employee-equivalent contractor) of a tech company.

Somewhat surprisigly it omits the relatively common option of becoming a long term planner (a.k.a. "paper pusher"), whether in product or engineering.

The options space outside of the Borg includes the following areas: - Becoming an engineering associate at a non technical organization, for example by automating or adapting standard tech tools to legacy industries. - Becoming a researcher (whether in an engineering field or one that requires engineering ability, e.g. computational biology - warmly recommended, BTW) - Starting your own business that creates platforms/business cases that would otherwise not exist.

Tl;dr: Apologies, bug/misunderstood UI/UX
