Write about something that's changed

A pessimist, optimist and realist are talking about writing. Last time around they discussed writing about something they don't know much about. The conversation moved on.

Pessimist: Things are moving too fast in tech and I can't keep up! Particularly all this AI hype rubbish right now. I'm so over it all. Someone told me I should write about this change and reflect on what it means for me and my colleagues. I dunno, I'm not so sure. I don't know how that will help. The change is happening regardless and I'm reluctant to always have to be changing myself to keep up. I'm struggling to keep up with changes so how the heck can I find the time to write about it?

Optimist: I get that. I find that change is the perfect thing to write about. As you've said, it's constant so why not ride that wave, commenting as we go? I like to find things from the past as inspiration to write about what's changed since. I think my "now" take on things helps me reflect on my relationship with all this change and to help me embrace it all. Which I guess allows me to write about what's changing in me as I navigate this career in tech.

Realist: Yes, and folks appreciate a good bit of honesty and self-reflection. Yet it's important to remember that a thing that feels like a simple change for us might be a huge change for others. It helps to have this in mind as we express ourselves. Use something that's changed as a catalyst for reflection and ideas, not as a tool to make people feel bad about themselves for not keeping up. Our career paths are both similar and unique.

One type of change is a process change. More on that in a Moment.
