9. Collaboration with other humans. Tech is cool. We're engineers because we love tech. But if we don't care about ppl, it won't matter how good we are at tech. People run the world, if we don't treat some well, it'll come back to us. They'll preside over our career success.

5. How humble they are. Ego destroys long-term success. Software engineers make good money; some happen to be really smart. But there is no reason for an ego. There will always be smarter and richer engineers too. Many engineers need to humble themselves a little bit.

10. A focus on others' needs. Everyone is focused on what they want: Your colleague wants a promotion. Your Boss wants to grow the team. When was the last time you recommended your colleague be promoted? When was the last time you told your bosses-boss what your boss needs?

2. How an engineer treats those more junior than them. If an engineer mistreats juniors early on, won't help or guide them, they likely won't treat them better later in their career. In turn, they'll struggle to grow. Our field is complex; much growth comes from teaching others

The top 10 predictors of successful engineering careers. I've helped hire 100s of engineers in my 12+ year career. I've managed and steered the careers of multiple engineering teams. Some of these may surprise you, but I am confident they predict career success in our industry.

1. How an engineer handles grunt work. Engineers love the latest & greatest tech. But the majority of software development is: - gluing together APIs - refactoring shitty code - fixing other people's bugs They'll struggle to get to the exciting stuff if they hate the boring.

3. How engineers communicate, especially with non-technical people. Being understood across domains & up the chain means knowing when to use: - plain & simple language - less or more technical detail Invest in this. It is a solid predictor of success for technical people.

This is entirely true: In addition to being a great guy, @SeamusBlackley is married to my wife’s first cousin once removed. Seamus is the father of the Xbox. Therefore: by marriage the @Xbox is my second cousin, and I don’t gossip on Twitter about family.

It's so easy to throw shade on folks when things like this happen. Easy to jump to assumptions of incompetence and suggestions of how you'd have avoided getting in a similar situation. No-one is immune to bad things happening.

In 2020 @JeffBezos made $8 million an hour. Every hour. @elonmusk? He made $18 million an hour. Every hour. The idea philanthropy is the answer when you make that much money is absurd. You can’t give it away quickly enough. The ultra rich should a pay a *lot* more tax.

The Unix shell is pure wizardry. Why shouldn’t it be as easy to write systems programs in Go as it is in the shell? The script library is the secret spell-book that makes this possible.

This got me curious, so I did some quick googling. It appears that on average, 32 people a year in Australia die to wildlife. In the US, 15,000 people a year die to gun violence. Double that if you include suicide.

Well if people can make up a story about someone who's been dead for three days coming back to life, I don't think him having his head miraculously popped back on too would be much of a problem.

My point is that instead of being tragic and moving, it would be grotesque and horror-comic. The church was very lucky.

Philip Pullman (@PhilipPullman)Sun, 10 Apr 2022 18:59 +0000

If Jesus had been a Roman citizen, like Paul, he would have been beheaded and not crucified. How would the church have managed without 2000 years of cross-based iconography? Never mind a much greater difficulty with the resurrection.

One of the nice things about opinionated frameworks: They’re friendly to new developers. Fewer decisions and more prescriptive guidance = less stress. And, it’s easier to move between different projects each project follows the same conventions.
