Hi Nathan, it's a really inspiring story about your career choices (and in life honestly)

I relate a lot to your accounts on conviction. (I made some 'unreasonable' choices when following a robotics passion over the typical engineering job)

But question: how much does survivorship bias play in your reflection?

(not a challenge, just a genuine question)

I think a big takeaway for me has been "follow your interest, and let serendipity do its job" but this is quite hard for someone who likes to plan and keep priorities in check. In the process, I've tended to either hedge my bets or go all in on things that didn't make sense retrospectively.
