I had a similar situation a few years ago and had the same feelings. I was a little burnt out and gave the org a ton of work over the years, so I enjoyed the down time doing side projects and gaming. Then after a year or so, I found a new

I feel like if a company cares about their culture, they won't need an app. There's also expectation setting that culture will change as an org grows, that's inevitable. It's up to the leaders to know what are responsi

I led a team doing this for 5ish years in a F100. We were the only team and we built it from the ground up. We handled all departments. Some of the bigger ones were customer service related such as letter templates/mailing/prin

Hey all! I'm building a BI environment for software teams. As a manager, my biggest frustration with comparable tools is 1) they're built for product managers as "software delivery metrics" and 2) their metrics are presc

I'm putting feelers out for a tool I'm building in the same vein: https://bldbtr.tech/ . What makes engineering metrics hard is that every team is different. We can talk about cycle time, deploy frequency, bug cou

Is namecheap owned by goDaddy? What am I missing?

lol I was being sarcastic with a touch of jealousy. I do not work at FAANG and do not make 500k.

Damn. It's like everyone works at faang and we all just accept that 500k is a normal salary. This is insane.

I'm building these out now in my org. My goal is to measure the process, not the engineers. The big metric being "cycle time" - the time it takes from issue created to deployment. I'll be able to further divide the me

As a non-SV, young 30-something programmer/manager, I'm apparently wasting my time.

I considered that, but I'm actually excited to learn macs and as the rest of the team uses macs, I don't want to be the sore thumb.

The icons are awesome. I also wanted to comment on the website. It's simple and I love it.

Sure, but by that logic React and Angular shouldn't be there either.

Surprising not to see EmberJS listed in the front end frameworks. Did it not make top 20 or was it an oversight?

Would it be nice, of course. However, it makes the assumption that 1) the data is easily understood and 2) that the end result is accurate. IMO, what you'd be solving isn't an accessibility issue, but rather a data cleanliness&#

I don't know the full situation, but your "over communication" is something I expect my senior engineers to do. If it is as you say, it could be your manager expecting you 1) read his mind or 2) just do what he says. If he

First, I'd look at what devops you can implement. I'd imagine testing and automated deployments are a bare minimum. Testing may slow you down, but if most of your work is maintenance, you'll see longer term gains. Automate

I'm neutral on the product itself, but the website was pretty difficult for me to read. I'd consider bumping up the font size and giving it more contrast.

Yikes. I agree with the employment attorney idea and I think HR would help here. There are other options, but they're risky and you shouldn't have to do this in the first place. Who do you report to in the structure? What'

I am in your shoes and I don't think we're alone. I have a long list of failed ventures and it sucks. Thinking about this recently, I've attributed some of my failure to my youth. I use to be in such a hurry to be successfu

I'd like to see an argument for using enums. I don't think enum constraints belong in the database - it's too business-y and belongs with the business logic. I also agree that join tables are simpler to use/query and wi
