In Chapter 12 of 16, Joe Stump shares two early career confidence building experiences. As a 20-year old, Stump is tasked with building out large scale websites and e-commerce architectures. This trust, aimed directly at someone others might deem too young for the responsibility, shapes Stumps perception for what is possible as well as his appreciation for being responsible and accountable with large projects. Over time, Stump builds upon these, ultimately landing a lead architect role at Digg.
