RE: Not Technical Enough

[Mike Tatro <tatro@xxxxxxx>]

Friends-

I think we can all agree that taking our careers to the highest level
requires a mix of good technical bandwidth and verbal communication skills.
No doubt, we have all suffered at the hands of colleagues who were blessed
with one skill but not the other.

For me, the one personality trait that really makes it all come together is
natural curiosity, especially about things technical. I love to learn about
stuff. Many find this a drudgery; I feel like a kid in a candy store. I get
to work with some of the most brilliant people I could ever hope to meet. I
have the privilege of taking their "stone tablets" down the mountain to the
user community. When I encounter a writer who is not naturally curious, I
can just about predict the quality of their work - dismal.

If this career didn't exist, I'd have to invent it.
