Strategy: A pre-mortem means imagining how a project could fail before it starts, then adding safeguards. A post-mortem looks back after a failure to understand what happened. Re-run a pre-mortem whenever a new issue appears.
Tech careers: I can shadow engineering interviews, product roadmap stand-ups, data analytics stand-ups, and customer success onboarding. Startups offer high visibility and variety; large companies have more structure and hierarchy.
Portfolio: Choose a stable GitHub username, keep projects public, and commit often. My GitHub can act as a living resume.
Project idea: Build this Nectir internship portal with meeting notes, a calendar, and pre-/post-mortem reflections.
Words learned: Pre-mortem, post-mortem, and IDE.
