If you’re very good at debugging complex systems, you can debug humans. You can be the best person in your friend group to navigate social situations. Your engineer brain can crack this. Do it

begging engineers who are very good at debugging to understand that the same exact meta-skill can be used on people. You can crack people, you can predict them with extreme accuracy. You are smart, you are very smart. You can do this
