The Formula Nobody Puts on a Resume

Obsession. Pattern recognition. Zero deference. Delusional optimism.

Most people treat those like red flags. They're more like a stack.

You stare at the same problem until the pattern shows up. You skip the polite version. You keep going past the point where a normal person would call it done and ask for feedback. From the outside it looks unhinged. From the inside it just looks like refusing to settle for fine.

AI can do the first draft. It can't do that stack. That's still on you.
