I used to think having two phones was absurd. Why would I want a work phone?! I get it now…it’s so I can leave it at home 😂

If you and your leadership aren’t aligned on what success in your role looks like then you’re unlikely to be successful.

The line between “what is it they do here” and “everything flows through that person” is sometimes surprisingly thin!

If the text is written by ChatGPT I can almost guarantee it’s 5x as long as it needs to be and overly wordy.

The reason a bad manager is more impactful than any other role is that, even after they’re gone, their words reverberate. It takes a really long time undo that damage.

For better or worse, Leslie Knope is still an accurate depiction of who I am as a work human 🫠

Ok, I need help! I’ve been making themed test data and I keep hitting a creative block. I refuse to use ChatGPT for this. What are fun themes/categories for a set of test data?

I am deeply pleased that part of my legacy is to further evangelize the use/understanding of the term “bitch eating cracker”

Half of my brain: yay! Exciting! New manager! Other half of my brain: Shit! I have to learn a new human 😂

Coded on a plane without wifi or any working IDE extensions. Seeing if I can still code like it’s 2012 and I’m working on an air gapped computer 😂

“Everyone is on site and won’t get work done next week” is not a valid exception to the “we don’t merge/launch late on a Friday rule”.

So much of what tech stack you focus on comes down to chance. We all pivot and adjust over the course of a career, but a lot of it is influenced by where you start! I’ve been thinking about that a lot as it relates to early career roles and opportunities.

Had been feeling super scattered at work for the past week, which is never fun. Woke up today and it was like everything snapped into focus and I could function again. So bizarre!

One thing I’ve changed in my workflow over the years is that, if I see a related fix/tech debt to what I’m working on, I’ll start a fresh branch for that change if at all possible. Making that choice, to put in a small PR with just the change I found, prevents the size of changes from ballooning.

Almost as wonderful as the post is all the comments. Long time tech content creators all finding themselves having walked away from it for a long time. I can’t help but think the toxicity of Twitter had a lot to do with that. Maybe Bluesky is showing us all a bit of hope?

This place really has replaced Twitter in the way the other attempts failed. At least in terms of volume of folks!
