😂 Love the post, Anton. The gif got me laughing at the end. The descriptions are super accurate. I feel like I'm a blend of the two. I love working with all inners, but probably wouldn't be able to handle it if everyone was--might be too intense for me. Similarly, I'm likely too all in for some people, but try to recognize when they're less-so and adapt a little to not be too intense for them
It's good to have a balance; you can be both or anywhere in between. You need to pick which things are worth going all in on and when to play it safe. The feedback you mentioned is worth listening to as it leans on the negative side. These are all legitimate reasons to come down to you when things go pear-shaped. Your focus needs to align with business needs. Otherwise, you are taking unnecessary risks.
It also depends on where you work, the environment you work in, and the people you work with. I don't want my team to be the ones going into an incident response meeting to explain why we lost the company hundreds of thousands because we introduced a breaking change.
For me, it's not a toggle I can switch on and off. It's just who I am. I agree it depends a lot about the environment, so I know that for my next challenge, I'll look for an environment where that approach would fit better.

Thanks Jordan! I guess many people didn’t like it, tons of unsubs 😂 but I prefer it that one, I felt it was more ‘me’.
Good point about this not being binary, would think about how to incorporate it next time I discuss it :)

There are environments where this is even encouraged.
