If there is nothing to discuss, reduce the cadence. It is the employees meeting, not the managers. If the manager is powerless to address the issues or clarify them, then that is a failing of the manager. It's 30mins once a week or an

Excellent point. It isn't to say that the developers cannot learn modern practices. I know this is how I worked when I first started and am a moderately capable developer. It is an undertaking though. Is going through that gauntlet fai

Though that would still be idiomatic go code. For what it is worth, I do agree with you. Short variable names on a function are a hassle. You have to lookup what they mean, which slows down understanding. n = copy(p, b.buf[b.r:b.w]) Oh bett

There is a surprisingly wide area of coverage for something titled "Front-end Developer Handbook". I also like the way the content is presented (not the technology used). The JS testing section is a good example. Pertinent summary
