Programming Throwdown, Episode 90 Terminals and Shells.

Take it away, Jason.

Hey, everybody.

Yeah, I have an interesting intro topic. Basically, this is something actually happened a while ago, but I wanted to talk about it right away.

But then at this point, the show is actually popular enough that people I work with sometimes listen to the show and I didn't want to

just jump into something that happened. That'd be kind of weird. So basically I've been waiting

until now to kind of talk about it. But you know, it's about ambition and kind of the goods

and bads of ambition, so so what is ambition ambition is

you know somebody's sort of driving to kind of push themselves in in some direction like

they want to have more responsibility um they want to um you know be uh they want to do more

I can work more hours if you're working hourly things like that um

and there's a lot of different reasons for this right totally might want to uh make more money

someone might want that seems like most obvious but that's only one of maybe at least i know three or

four things i mean someone could want more prestige and more honor.

Like, they might want a nice title that they don't have.

Somebody might want, they might find the work more enjoyable.

Like, they might find what they're doing right now kind of too boring, right?

Or someone might want influence they

might want to be able to say things and people like to some degree have to listen to them right

these are all kind of reasons for um ambition there's probably others as well and this they're not

inherently bad things i mean i think that that's sort of what drives a lot of people.

But where it becomes a problem is when people don't recognize, like, they just don't know kind of where they're at.
