Hey I had this happen last week, but every non-exec was blindsided. In fact, I had to break the news to another engineer after he was just kicked from Slack/GH/etc with no explanation. The video I'd love to see is " How

Every day, I ride the NYC subway over the Williamsburg bridge. I can look out at the traffic a few feet away and see hundreds of gridlocked cars with no passengers (other than a driver). I think it's coming from both sides -- there

There are a slew of dev-only dependencies in JS-land. Packages that run local servers for hot-reloading during development. Test runners, linters, TypeScript compilers, SCSS compilers, and so on. None of those things need to be included wit

I spent a week at Lake Louis in winter 2017. There was hardly anyone there, even around the Fairmont! Maybe 5 cars in the huge lot right by the water. Just a few dolts trying to take selfies in the middle of the frozen lake. Shame that it&#

Many are bad at communicating in general, e.g. selectively ignoring/missing parts of an email, incomplete sentences, typos. Some also have the nasty habit of skimming stuff and replying to what they thought they read. I've seen

Guitar virtuoso Shawn Lane offers another approach, where you attempt to learn very difficult passages by jumping right into it at the correct speed. The idea here is that, by slowly speeding up, you end up using low-speed mechanics on high

That's a really good point, but that may not be ideal from a pure learning perspective. Engineers are often subject to the whims of management, tight deadlines, dependency quirks, their own personal bias, and so on. A living example wo

What tickles me is that Google's designs (and re-designs) are so wildly inconsistent between products that any benefit of a unified design system is negated. Maybe it's too optimistic to expect universal consistency for a company

That's not what I'm suggesting at all, we shouldn't coddle anyone. I'm advocating for a system that can effectively handle pigheaded people so we don't end up with more anti-vaxxers.

I'd like to agree, but then we'd have an even larger uneducated and willfully ignorant mass. Perhaps we could be more tactful, or find some way of easing people into sensitive discussions. Quarantining those people, enticing as it
