Looks really interesting! I've been looking for resources on how to ask better questions, it'll surely come in handy. I wonder if there's a PDF / single-file version somewhere, for easier consumption on e-readers?

Ha! I went through half of the Turkish course but stopped around two years ago, thanks for the reminder, I resumed my progression! I'll be looking at the new courses too :) And thanks a lot for making all of this work available to all!!

Use a journaling app, and write a few notes on what you did everyday. Each week, write a summary, grouped by topic: on project A, did 3 MRs, assisted pre-sales team on product X... At the end of the quarter, review the weekly summaries. Done.

I've been doing a version of this for the past 14+ years. Every manager I've had always told me I have the most detailed yearly review. It's been invaluable to me, as my work has usually been very fragmented on different topics / activities.

Mostly good for talent pipeline imo. I try to look for curiosity and autonomy when interviewing prospective interns. That way I can let them explore cool topics that we don't have the bandwidth for. Bear in mind that (at least where I'm located) they are still students / in the middle of their training. They require more supervision than new employees. I consider this to be a plus, for instance if you want one of your team member to level up in coaching/management skills.
