It has taken me a decade to realize this is the key to success. Just do your very best work, as often as possible, and let the rest figure itself out.
I accidentally created a data warehouse that became the necessary backbone to launch a massive new org (100M+ revenue). I was building it for a relatively small near realtime Elasticsearch cluster to generate data reports for an application. But I thought, gee, if I suck in a bunch of other data from other sources and clean it, I might find a use some day. Little did I know that someone else would piggy back on it to build a POC for a giant business expansion.
