If you’re data driven and can use it to make changes and adjust your behavior, a continuous glucose monitor can do wonders. I believe that they’re prescription only in the US, and most insurance won’t cover, but it shouldn’t be too much tro

1) it doesn’t matter and really no one cares. Don’t wring your metaphorical hands over it too much, getting CxO title matters a lot more and even that doesn’t mean a thing but it at least makes it a little more painful to slot someone in ab

Not to disagree with your overall point, but on #2 magnets work well for this and there are a lot of “hide-a-key” type things on the market that are often used in wheel wells by people who have a history of locking their keys in their car.

There was a bit of a downswing in CS degrees around the first DOTCOM bust, a lot of folks left programs at 2nd tier colleges and moved to adjacent but less “software” and “subject to outsourcing” like industrial engineering, electrical engi

You’re not wrong, but I’ll say the part about not going into it for the money is becoming less and less true all the time. For developers who are ~35 and up, almost 100% true, once you get younger than that you’ll find that there are a larg

It would be tough to get any adoption at larger than a small handful of people scale, and most of that already happens over private chat platforms. I help curate networks for my fraternity (US, college for those of you not familiar with it)

8-12% surveyed said that it was a dealbreaker not to be able to use slack/similar to drive automation and get event notifications?!? We can have the same jobs and live in such different worlds.

Also not to be forgotten is the inverse bus factor: The number of people who, if hit by a bus and incapacitated, would allow an initiative to move forward.

If you’re getting explicit buy-in from leadership about technical debt you can be assured that whoever was in your role previously failed badly at keeping engineering aligned and in step with the overall goals of the business.

Gastropod had a great episode about potatoes that touched on this and a lot of the myths / great man of history stories about the introduction of the potato into Europe. Worth a listen if you’re into food, history, and related topics

Fine to use whatever tool that works for you. Using the words “clients” here with reference to Hugo is confusing though, as clients would never be effected by it. The way I read that bug, it would be Hugo itself that is effected and crashes

The writing and prioritizing stories and backlog grooming is exactly what a PM should be doing. Leading the standups seems to happen often but I see it as an anti pattern. But talking about how the team builds systems, who’s doing the buil
