it helps a lot to read everything because it gives you an idea of what scenario creates what type of problems, those tend to be fairly stable across different environments (like too much crunch time => burn out) and there are general gui

unfortunately management is not a deterministic science, which is why most online content is repetitive and very superficial, often giving advices like "talk about life". Every time you have to deal with people it's a unique

To me there are 2 main reasons: 1) ownership - the manager does not really own the way the team works, in most cases it's just applying processes defined somewhere else (career progression, expectations, OKRs, sdlc, internal processes

totally agree with this, quality content is and always will be a niche. a platform that only focuses on that will never be "corporate" good enough and make enough money to justify its existence in companies like google. what twitt

I really like how Ecto does things in Elixir by separating schema and functions that modify the data.

elixir is so beautiful and expressive...it really sucks that it's almost impossible to find it in use in a company. I don't understand how there's so much old school oop frameworks in the wild and not enough elixir/phoen

How do you think AI and tools like midjourney could improve this asset creation process (if you think they can be used in this scenario)?

It's less than 25 years (about 15) but very intense, and yeah I have had the luck to work in very different environments, countries and type of companies and I have seen amazing leaders and ICs and pretty average middle managers (the &

I did not say where I work or who these people are, I am not publicly airing anything, it's an example I gave to explain the problems people may face "moving up the ladder" which are much more complex to deal with as the pers

Every workplace, 5 different companies. Definitely the bad manager part happened, but it's very common and it's easier to name managers/companies/projects/teams that don't have this environment than the opposit

I have been a swe for most of my life then transitioned into a manager (corporate and small/mid startups) for a while and am a director now (scaleup unicorn). The politics is something that always bothers me, the higher you get in the

I do notice a difference between north and south of Europe (more likely to be asked in the north) but it always felt more like "do you do an interesting job?" more than "can you be useful for my next startup?" :P

by bl4ckm0r3 4y ago
To be honest I have experienced this a lot in San Francisco, where people ask first what do you do, second where do you work and then what's your name...in Europe it really isn't the central part of the conversation and most likel

I personally don't know if you can be exposed to information not suited to underage kids in chatgpt (which was the reasoning of the regulator), and in general am not a huge fan of putting rules in place because it's the internet..

Thanks for the free-of-charge judgement, i am not against GMOs, I am against monsanto policies and monopoly that are sales focused and not quality focused (like gmos that only last one crop so you have to buy them again :) ). We tried to bl

I wonder if and, in case, how these new ai-powered search engines are going to change SEO status quo. At the moment, i think, this is only used to better understand user input, but could it be trained to extract content from text in a bette

the same dream that pushes you forward, can keep you down. I have felt (and still feel) in a similar way, my approach is to have an "healthy" relationship with my dreams and desires and don't let the lack of results, or just

How big was the team and what type of project? And what amount of level of detail did you put in the planning/roadmap? Did you also had experiments and investigations taken into account?

Your memories (and feelings lovked to them) age well. You had to revisit to change that locked feeling, or it would have stayed the same ;)
