      Hi,
      🙂
      I said stubborn because its not in my nature to give up on a problem. Sometimes it can take ages to find a bug, or to get something working exactly the way it needs to. The stubbornness comes in handy at the end of a 15 hour session looking for a bug when you finally crack it and can end the day happy.

      There are lots of different types of people in engineering – but quite a few are good at focusing on one task for a long time. Others have the gift of quickly jumping into a new problem and are better at working in dynamic, fast paced roles. Lots of space for everyone.

      Rik
