Layoffs reveal who built before it mattered

Ubisoft just cut thousands of jobs and restructured half its studios. No experience needed to notice that. What you need to notice is what happens after. The people who survive that kind of shake up aren't the most talented ones. They're the ones who already had a habit going before the layoff hit. A side project. A skill practiced on random Tuesdays for no reason. And the weird part is nobody claps for that boring consistency until it saves someone's whole career. You don't need a following. You need one small habit you do before you feel ready. Discipline shows up before confidence does. Always has.
