Blog post from New Relic
Leon Adato's blog post draws insightful parallels between the core values of various groups in Amazon's "The Rings of Power" series and the personal journey of understanding one's role and purpose in a tech career. He highlights how elves, dwarves, orcs, and hobbits each have distinct motivations, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and honesty in one's professional life. Adato suggests that while finding comfort in one's work is essential, stepping outside this comfort zone can lead to personal growth and the formation of meaningful relationships, as illustrated by the series' characters who overcome differences to forge alliances. He underscores the transformative power of friendship and collaboration, even across seemingly insurmountable divides, using examples from the series to illustrate how understanding and choosing one's path can lead to a more fulfilling and impactful career.
