Reddit did it to themselves tbh. Ever since their API changes the site has been notably worse. I haven't deleted my stuff yet but it's not a fun social media site anymore

i guess the polite way to put it is "do not host an international conference in america"

Once I discovered how many millions of dollars my position was making the companies I worked for I knew I was underestimating my value

Want to get rid of imposter syndrome? Figure out how much money you directly or indirectly make your company You can calculate it crudely with profits divided by total employees or better if you know how much revenue your service/product/team generates [contains quote post or other embedded content]

It was only a small addition but I'm rather proud that I'm a contributor to TinyGo v0.36.0 — it'll now work nicely with GoReleaser because build directories are created in the same way as big Go! 🥳 https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/releases/tag/v0.36.0

The way some software engineers treat business people is really disgusting.

Working from home/remotely is great, and I have been doing it for well over 14 years now. The feeling of isolation and disconnection is real, though, and having a safe virtual co-working space could help here.

You’ve been taught to conference by @tristanlombard.bsky.social and @elchefe.me when half your suit case is a full size skin care and a bottle of rose water. Talk outfit has been approved by the tech besties.

Most of what we call "tech" is about getting the right information into a database and trying to prevent the wrong person from reading or updating it.

Dream: now that I left Google, no more performance reviews! Reality: writing the CFP submission for “The Go Cryptography State of the Union” every year.

Sometimes, executive dysfunction/ADHD lies to you about a task that will only take an hour at best to make it seem like a huge, multi hour thing Today, I am finally cleaning/organizing my desk. ADHD was not lying 🥲

Ngl I hate that "build this from scratch" is common as part of interviewing. In 5 years of working as a software eng all I ever did was contribute to large codebases and build on top of existing code. Closest to that is prototyping for a tech design but even then you're not building in isolation...

A reminder for these times.

I was… probably not gonna last much longer at NPM. I was doing really poorly just trying to do what was apparently needed. I wasn’t on a PIP but I was very close to it. And then I was just… given free rein and that’s when cacache/pacote/NPM5 & 6 happened It was kind of incredible [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Hey did you know that the two most productive people I have ever had on my teams have been people I was told to fire for performance reasons? This is why it’s so important to: 1) hear context from previous managers but not anchor to it 2) give people clear feedback and give them a chance

To those who are also looking for engineering roles, what websites are you using? I know I've been relying on DiversifyTech, LinkedIn & TechLadies. Any other notable ones I should add to my list?

I break this prime directive constantly on accident. It’s just … if you and I ✨ vibe ✨?? Well… You are (also) some flavor of mentally ill. Which is fine! Ideal, even. We might not know what flavor yet, but if you hang around me long enough, we will figure it out eventually
