It doesn’t mean that we should enable them to tell racist, homophobic, transphobic etc jokes in the name of comedy. Ask yourselves why you think these jokes are funny and then you have your answer. It shouldn’t prevent us from calling out the problematic

Want it to be open source? Great! Go for it. Want it to have all the upsides of open source, and none of the side effects that might make you uncomfortable? Get the fuck right out of town with that. The upside of being open should come with the potential for others to benefit.

If you think pair programming is inefficient, try waiting hours to get your code reviewed & having to context switch between tasks while you wait. And then switch back when you get the feedback & have to rethink your approach because you weren’t discussing it as you wrote it.

Things like this, and very slow build/test/deploy lifecycles are pretty low-hanging fruit - makes a huge difference, as well as making your teams happier!

We recently found that the new 2021 M1 MacBooks cut our Android build times in half. So for a team of 9, $32k of laptops will actually save $100k in productivity over 2022. The break-even point happens at 3 months. TL;DR Engineering hours are much more expensive than laptops!

The moment I start _thinking_ about something it becomes a WIP because thinking _is_ work. If thinking wasn’t work, I think a lot of us would have far more energy at the end of the day.

Not a great leading indicator when the person in charge of the hostile product decision gets promoted to lead up the whole dev division, including GitHub. One of the worst parts of devrel is when management decides to ring the register and sell off the earned developer trust.

The recent open source moves by Microsoft are interesting. On one hand, I love the power of a vocal community; on the other, I hate to see community/devrel teams left to clean up after a bonehead decision from an executive who is clearly disconnected from the reality of the work.
