A reminder: People procrastinate. But if what you call "procrastinating" is wanting to start, not feeling able to, feeling a deep sense of both dread and shame as the thing simply EXISTS at you? That... might not be procrastination. That might be Executive Dysfunction.

In all seriousness though, you don’t need cloud based sentiment analysis to figure out pretty quickly the folks are very sad right now. They are bitter, they are misinformed, and they are generally just down. So they slap the keyboard at Internet strangers to feel better.

Always use free resources for your resume before you go to someone and pay for them to have it done. I promise there isn’t anything anyone can put in that resume for a crazy price that will get you hired.

If one wants to push a long-standing issue along, then don’t comment that, instead (if sensible in context) ask: “What can be done to push this issue forward? Are more details needed? More use cases? Someone doing a PR?” Then it becomes collaborative rather than exploitative 👍

how to quickly climb the big tech career ladder: volunteer for “priority” projects, ship them super fast and land “impact”, then jump onto another “priority”, leaving behind bugs, poor UX and tech debt to other people to solve; rinse and repeat.

If friction is a daily part of your work, make sure you speak up. Sometimes that friction YOU'RE experiencing is based on assumptions and you might not have everything you need to mitigate that friction. Never hurts to ask.

Love this. This is what we live and breathe in our daily work at @_localstack Having decent mocks or emulators can boost your productivity, reducing the often tedious deploy&test cycles in the cloud. Not to mention the improved debuggability aspect of a fully local environment.

I also have an issue with anyone touting rigid Scrum practices as the way to enhance or untangle any situation because that is FALSE, and we can fight about it.

Microservices or not, one of the best things you can do to improve your own productivity is to have a fast, local development environment setup with minimum dependencies and ways to introspect isolated parts of your codebase.

In general, whether people are paid for their efforts or not, give feedback and criticism with respect and kindness. We are all humans just trying to do our best. Offering help as well as feedback may also be welcomed in certain cases.

A lot of great things rely on volunteers giving up their free time to do their best to provide something valuable for others without payment. Remember when giving feedback on the events, communities, products they are providing to do it with respect and kindness.
