✨ We're hiring a Design Engineer and Staff Software Engineer to work on some ambitious new projects with us at @tailwindcss. 🏕️ Fully remote 💰 $275,000 USD tailwindcss.com/blog/hiring-a-…
I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have: - Good pay - Good culture - Good growth opportunities If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.
"Every infrastructure decision I endorse or regret after 4 years at a startup" -- cep.dev/posts/every-in… Best infrastructure post I've read in YEARS; would love to see this become a hot series. Write one about your choices, please!!!
My talk from QCon NYC 2023 has just been posted: "Perils, Pitfalls and Pratfalls of Platform Engineering." Pitfall #1: Running too much software #2: Writing too much software #3: Not letting teams own their own reliability ... and so on! (there are 8) infoq.com/presentations/…
I also have learned the hard way that “let me know if u need anything” isn’t effective while people are in crisis. So here are my alternatives:
I also called this wrong; fully expecting twitter to have crashed and burned a few times over after the cuts. I'm amazed twitter is still running, even if it's a shadow of its former self, overrun by bots and propped up by repeated ads for portable walrus polishing kits.

If you work in tech, the more senior you get, the more the quality of your relationships matter than the quality of your technical work. Soft skills eventually become more important than hard skills unless your skillset is very specific and in-demand (e.g. AI developers).

Sarah (@sarah_edo) nails it in her "The Art of Code Comments" talk. I wrote up the main points so I could refer back to them in the future. 👉 sawyer.soy/blog/the-art-o… Related thought: I think tools like GitHub Copilot will result in more "bad" code comments appearing in PRs.

It’s surprising to me when leaders don’t think that morale is their job. IMO, the higher in the company, the more morale and making sure people understand strategy IS the job. I myself don’t always do this perfectly but I always know it’s my responsibility.
can someone smarter than me explain how gistRegex.test(url) resulted in "Maximum call stack size exceeded" on Chrome const gistRegex = /^(https?:)?(\/\/)?gist\.github\.com\/([^\/]+\/)?[0-9a-f]+/ even on long strings I can't get this to happen in manual testing
Politicians are failing us abysmally on the #ClimateCrisis. Can comedians step up and save the day? Watch the heroic Jo Brand give it a proper shot with scientist @ProfMarkMaslin 🔥 If this doesn't prompt revolution, what will? Please share far and wide! #NoNewOil #COP28
Curious what the right cadence of time off is for folks throughout the year to avoid burnout. 5 days a quarter? 2 weeks per year? Would love to know what works for others
I've been an Engineering Manager (switched from an engineer) for a year now... here are my top learnings:

That sucks. I’m sorry that happened. I’d recommend something like “I’m glad you agree with my idea” but also cultivate allies in the room to back you up and agree with you as well. What other suggestions to y’all have #womenintech?

Sometimes the only commentators talking sense are the satirists. The @MarshSongs family are famous for making us laugh at the absurdities of politics. But this song is just heart-breaking; hopefully it will help remind people we all have one. Sound up:
In 1977, Jorge Luis Borges, one of the most influential 20th c. Spanish-language writers, told William F. Buckley (whose first language was Spanish) his reasons for feeling, age 78, that English was 'far finer' than his native tongue. Right or wrong, I love his savor for language
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements, per MorePerfectUnion. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes.

Quick clarification because some folks asked: “I already have a no” means “If I don’t ask, what I have is a no, so I might as well ask. There’s no risk- they can give me a no, which is the same situation I was in before. But they could also say yes!”
The question is, how can you interview and screen for engineers who care about the business and want to help build it, engineers who respect sales, marketing and other functions as their peers and equals? It's a great question!! I have ideas, but would love to hear from others.
@mipsytipsy @honeycombio How do you interview for that? What qualities do you look for?

After 4 years with a 34” ultrawide monitor, it was time for a change. I constantly ran out of space. Also, switching my head constantly between the monitor and laptop resulted in some bad neck pain. So, I got the LG C3 42” OLED TV and I’ll use it as a monitor.

The first programming job I got was because I blogged about how to automate Yii migrations on Heroku. A company saw it, reached out and hired me. Every job I've had, save for one, I've gotten as a result of having work publicly available! Write something. Build something!
*Taps sign* The term doctor came from the Latin docere "to teach", and has existed since the 1300s, pre dating the formal "MD" association, in the 1600s. You might want to see a specialized doctor if you feel... smaller... w this data 😘 -Dr. Parcak, Professor if you're Nasty
Always find it funny when PhDs insist on being referred to as 'Dr' in every setting because "I worked hard for it". Ok, but did you work hard for it so that people would call you 'doctor' all the time? Because that's pathetic
