I think knowing how and when to say NO is a prime skill.

It protects your time.

It prevents burnout

It keeps you focused on what truly matters.

Saying NO to unnecessary complexity, endless meetings, and unrealistic deadlines isn’t just about self-care—it’s about being an effective engineer.

A well-placed NO today can save months of regret later.

Thanks for the article, Daniel!
