How do you (Patrick) juxtapose “underpromise and overdeliver” against, when you’re asked, assessing what someone with your (Patrick’s) perceptions and skills could reasonably achieve going forward, given the opportunity?
This would depend markedly on who I was talking to and what I needed out of them. Certain audiences counsel being much more explicit about e.g. one’s level of ambition and where one believes oneself to be on a spectrum of ability/drive/horsepower/etc.
Then there is the comms strategy bit of it, where “I have many weird hobbies, like sometimes running the U.S.’s shadow vaccine location data information provider” is both a self-deprecating joke and also a brief and loaded statement about recent realized results suggestive of my efficacy in doing hard things.
