If I had a database that was handling 90% reads and 10% writes, I'd optimise it for reads. On a totally unrelated note, software developers spend 10x as much time reading code as they do writing it.

The new “working interview,” where potential employers have candidates do tasks and assignments, for free, is an unethical scam that I hope the workforce soon refuses to partake in. The amount of hours people are putting in to do free work for jobs they don’t get is infuriating.

IPCC report says we’re too late to avoid most of the climate crisis but if we act immediately the worst effects could be avoided Headlines: “Woah Will Smith Slapped a guy!” 1,000 scientists protest and risk arrest. Headlines: “Oooo what’s that rapscallion Elon Musk up to now.”

Shouldn't over 1,000 scientists risking arrest to save the planet be a bigger news story than Elon Musk trying to buy Twitter?

It's super common for a lot of careers to have people work part time on even stuff like 30 hours Idk why tech is so against it, you are either a contractor or you work 40 hours and there is no in between

Yeah, I think I’ll stop calling them “billionaires.” That word seems to celebrate their wealth as an accomplishment. “Oligarch” sounds good to me, since it calls attention to their power.

There are plenty of successful engineers and there are some that are brilliant jerks. But there are no brilliant jerk engineers that are also successful. If you think someone will get value from this, consider retweeting the first tweet. Thanks for reading.

Bonus: Persevering when it's not looking good. Most devs know a brute force approach to a problem works when all else fails. But many don't take that attitude toward career problems. They become easily demoralized or disengaged. So much success in life comes down to grit.

8. The risks engineers are willing to take Engineers have to make the right tradeoffs, especially on things like tech debt. But tech debt is risky; it could cripple you and your teams. But those same risks, if they go right, could have a massive upside for you and your teams.

7. Knowing what's worth learning. Learning is important in our industry, but not everything is worth learning. Some patterns, technologies, or techniques will have a disproportionate impact on engineering careers. Knowing what's worth learning is just as important as learning.

https://twitter.com/LBacaj/status/1514694601994604545

6. A love for lifelong learning. Our industry & the world keeps evolving. If developers don't love learning, they'll struggle. Not learning leads enginers to be stuck in roles or places they hate.

4. An engineer's self-awareness. Understanding: - how one comes off. - the impact of one's actions. - the way they treat others and make others feel. Those who are self-aware can bounce back from mistakes and succeed long term.

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.

https://twitter.com/LBacaj/status/1514694598957965324

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.
