1. Trying to make hiring in tech a better experience by sharing my knowledge and experience with both job seekers and those doing the hiring. The really hard part about this is influencing some change in how hiring is done, because I strongly believe the current hiring process selects for the wrong skillset. I'm publicly committing to write about this topic weekly with a newsletter that I just launched: https://hiringfor.tech https://hiringfor.tech
2. At work, I recently completed a really long project with a large team. I'm trying to make the lessons learned accessible to others in the company because they'll also be undertaking similar projects soon. That means documenting my learnings at a level of abstraction that allows others to not make the same mistakes as us, but still have enough flexibility to tailor their implementation based on their team's needs. The hard part is the intersection of technical and people-oriented knowledge dissemination.
This year is going to be focused on a lot of teaching, which I'm excited about.

- akdas 7y agoAbsolutely! The feed will be available at https://hiringfor.tech/feed.xml https://hiringfor.tech/feed.xml when I start publish content (probably next week).
