Absolutely! This is why my salary is public at https://www.jvt.me/salary/ and whenever I see job posts I ask about salary ranges to be made public

Pay transparency is very important. Especially if you're a woman or PoC. When I told a coworker at my last job what I was making, he told me that I was way underpaid and should start looking. Increased my total comp by at least $70K after taking his advice.

Don't agree about notice period - although I told my manager before I'd handed in my notice, as we had a good personal relationship and I wanted us to work through it together as well as talk through the options, don't give the company more time than they expect out of you. You've already worked very hard for them, and if they felt that you needed 3 months to handover, that'd be your notice period

Not something I'd noticed at the time but @GatlingTool can now be used with Java/Kotlin. I did quite like that Gatling was my entry point to Scala but it did put a lot of people off. gatling.io/2021/11/gatlin…Tom Binns (@fullstacktester)Thu, 06 Jan 2022 16:31 GMT

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.

Betty White was raised during “that generation” and was in the public eye for 70 years. Not one old college photo in black face, not one n-word secretly recorded, not one deleted bigoted tweet or online racist rant. So all you bigots can keep your excuses. Be better. Be Betty.

Women in tech, stop what you're doing and listen to me right now. You belong in tech. You are smart and capable enough to be here. Anyone, including yourself, who says otherwise is wrong. You deserve to be where you are, and you can get to where you want to be. Keep going.casey (@varcharr)Sun, 02 Jan 2022 22:32 GMT
