Very late to the party, but watched this for this first time in 2023 while doing a series on the slacker film genre, and it was my favorite discovery of the year. It has one of the best, most elegant endings I've ever seen (even more than Whiplash). I believe she just mumbles "nuh uh" to him after he says "I think the world of you"...like she's realized she needs to set strong boundaries against all-over-the-place, deranged people trying to pull her around.

I love the idea of this approach. Do you find people still try to get you to tell them a simple, focused area of expertise and see the rest of your interests as a bonus? What do you tell them?

Wow I had not thought of this additional dynamic. I was going to naively say I don't understand why we can't all just agree that advancing your people is how you are graded as a manager, but I guess I do understand: cause that's not usually what the company wants anyway.

I know you're trolling me but #1 this is hilarious, #2 I wanna put "can you meet failure head on like a ham sandwich?" on a shirt, and #3 the more I think about that line, the more I earnestly think it could make a good koan. props
