Ability to rapidly process information and react to changes.
Communication is a learned skill.
Ability to handle stress and thrive under pressure is the key.
I don’t think your average tech worker has any notion of what stress is, unless you’re consistently on-call overnight. Even then, it’s not the same.
This isn’t meant to belittle or scoff at people’s lived experiences, but the difference between “if I get this wrong, my company will lose millions of dollars” and “if I get this wrong, hundreds of people die” is VAST.
We should have plenty of people that play video games.
They won't be, which is why it's funny to me.
