My most common peer review comment is just "Define abbreviation and be consistent."

The only career skill that will never become obsolete?

Continuous learning.

Stop clinging to old methods.

✅ Leave what's holding you back
✅Unlearn outdated approaches
✅ Relearn with a fresh perspective
✅Learn something new. Constantly.

Ur adaptability is your greatest asset.
