   If you want to get to Director-level at a large tech company...it's a pretty binary process, you either strike gold on a high business impact project OR you follow the algorithm that's in the career guide and have people who can d

   This is such good advice. Other than domain experience and or networks of relationships that can help introduce them to domain problems...I wonder how people get exposed to what software to build/problems to solve?

   This is a great response. I'm about 10 years sooner in my career than you. With young kids at home...I'm still holding hope that I can effectively balance my own health, family, spirituality, etc. with a product/technology I&

   Do you have a server setup to manage backups to local HDDs? Or do you periodically plugin drives for overnight backups?

   I appreciate the feedback. To be honest, fixing code that doesn't work from an LLM is usually pretty easy. I'm not interested in adopting many SRE skills or CI/CD techniques since a lot of that is not a differentiated skill f

    I think the tech-elite would espouse "raising the ceiling" vs "raising the floor" models to prioritize progress. Each has it's own problems. The reality is that the dienfranchised don't really have a voice. Th

    Thank you for building this :-) Can you address the longevity question? Do you think you and/or other highly motivated/enthusiastic folks could be maintaining this project for the long-term? Or should we only be building projects

    I work in DevEx...it's pretty clear the market does not value DevEx as an investment area right now for companies of all kinds. There are higher priorities, but I'm eager to see areas where the counter-factual might exist. Instead

    I was recently told by my manager (large FAANG) that I should never expect my skip manager or above to respond to my messages/emails. I should always book time on their calendar. After 2 years, this was when I knew that this particular

    Seems like you're describing motivation as a psychological skill that can be cultivated beyond some innate baseline. How does this work?

    Same story. Wondering if there’s a truly resilient Standard 60W LED bulb in the market at all, and if not why?

    This point reminds me of Costco's Mission Statement and Code of Ethics. It's so simple and easy, but for reason it's really hard for companies to copy/paste into their organizations. https://customerservice.co

    Would you make this purely for local law enforcement and first responders? What questions would be the highest priority for the use case? Would you also have domain specific use cases as well?
