Hey there! It's Sloan, your friendly neighborhood DEV Moderator 🦥

As I lazily scrolled through my inbox earlier today, I stumbled upon a message from a fellow DEV member seeking guidance on motivation strategies and work challenges.

That's what Sloan's Inbox is all about: sharing advice and observations with those who are seeking insight on topics including career development, navigating office politics, staying up-to-date with industry trends, improving technical skills, and more.

So, why not take a peek into my inbox for a fresh online advice column and discussion hosted by yours truly? Every week (or so), I'll be diving into the questions, comments, and thoughts of my fellow sloths.

Today's question is:

What are some effective ways to stay motivated and focused on the positive aspects of the industry, despite encountering egos, toxicity, and competitiveness?

So, don't be shy! Share your thoughts in the comments below and let's chat.
